Well baka tori, suggest you change your nick to 'thick as a brick'!
There is NO way you can copy a protected floppy anymore.
Seeing as you are 'thick as a brick' I will explain.
The copy protection used on floppies consist of unformatted tracks and unformatted sectors on the floppy.
Once upon a time it was possible to copy these using a special PIB that had COMPLETE control over a floppy drive plugged into it.
Using special software, that doesn't run under any of the newer O/S's, O/S's that also wouldn't have any way of supporting these PIB's, it was possible to format the floppy in the correct way and then copy the data to it.
However, 'thick as a brick' the one little item you needed to make this work has not been available for at least a decade.
That item? UNFORMATTED FLOPPIES!
There is NO utility, no matter what you might like to believe, that can overcome this type of protection.
