[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Duplicating an immovable file.

kap@eng.cam.ac.uk (Kevin A. Price) (05/30/91)

Is it possible to copy an immovable file onto floppy, de-install
the immovable file and then re-copy the file into the same place
from the floppy?

The problem is that we have a 286-AT with some PCB Design software
installed. The machine is quite old and every so often it comes
up with a disk failure error. The software is protected on hard 
disk by storing the physical location of a certain file actually
in the file itself. This ensures that the file cannot be easily
copied. We would like to back-up this piece of software in some way.
Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
