Thanks you for your time to answer. It will be very helpful to me.
The other utility you have programmed (Backup magic) Is the differences only
that it is more automated?
Thanks

look for "The Defeater".  it is excellent for just that application (i
know--i wrote it).  it is available as a public domain program.

if you don't know which track can't be copied, use the "find uncopyable
tracks" feature.
once you know what track you want to copy use "read a track" and "convert
track data".
     this will read the format of the track you want to copy and set up a
formatting image.
then use the "format a track" feature to format the track you wish to
copy.
next, use "read a sector" and "write a sector" to copy individual sectors
(using the track, side and sector data displayed in the "convert"
procedure.
    ***note*** if no sectors are displayed during conversion, then there
were no sectors and the track may be pure data and will probably work
without copying sectors.
