I broke my bootable SCO Floppy disk, How Can I copy all data from 1 floppy disk to another copy disk?? I want to have another system floppy disk to securety,...

The command mkdev fd should do the trick.

It will allow you to create new system boot disks

Abovebrd what I mean is copy from an install diskette to other,... because I have some boot files necessary to open an MO drive,.. you now???
Ex: Like diskcopy a: a:

 

[edfair]

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/disk
dd if=/tmp/disk of=/dev/fd0
or better to use sysadmsh or scoadmin to accomplish the same thing.
Better even is to create the boot disk as Danny suggests then
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
and copy files from where they are on the root filesystem to /mnt then umount. Ed Fair
