[Lilux-help] Copy floppy including the bad sectors

[Yves Glodt]

Hello,

I wonder how I can make an 1:1 copy of a floppy, including the bad 
sectors on it... Plain dd fails with i/o errors.
I tried ddrescue to make an image, and wrote the resulting image to 
another floppy, but it does not work :-(

Background:
I'ts about a floppy that came with a windoze software which stores a 
license. A backup of this key is what is needed...

Is there another way doing this copy?

Regards,
Yves
