- Alignment disks CANNOT be copied.
-
- They have eliptical tracks, which can only be read as error-free when in
- perfect alignment. When the drive is out of alignment, the sectors that
- give errors tell you how far the drive is out of alignment. THat is the
- theory, anyway. NO copy program can duplicate these eliptical tracks.

- You just gotta find someone with an ORIGINAL of something like Vorpal.
