[comp.sys.amiga] Boot-picture on HD's

eriks@ifi.uio.no (Erik Saastad) (06/06/90)

Does anyone know of any utility to copy the boot-sector from a floppy to
the boot sector on a hard-drive?

What I'd like to do is use Bootgirl to copy an Iff picture to a
diskette, and then copy the boot-sector (and the extra file) to BOOT's
boot-sector. Or maybe an utility to copy boot-sectors that worked with
assignings (assign df1: to dh0:).

Thanx.

May the gods protect us from such a program! Imagine: How long would it
take for some s*cker to write a harddisk-bootblock-virus...

By the way, I'm using FluShot+ on Messydos and I'm very happy with it.
Where are you, porters and converters of other system's good tools?
