Remove original. Put copy in A:
2. Start up norton with 'NU A:'
3. Hit menu item F2 - Explore disk information
4. Hit menu item F1 - Change selection
5. Hit menu item F5 - Select disk sector
Norton prompts for sector number - enter 20
6. Hit menu item F5 - Display or change contents of selected item
Norton displays contents of sector in hex and ASCII
7. Cursor down and right cursor is at location 59 (3b hex). Norton
shows current cursor location in upper right hand corner of the
screen.
8. You should find the following data at your current cursor location:
E8 23 2E
Change it to B8 01 00
9. Hit the Esc key. Norton will prompt with 'Press W, I, or R'. Type
a 'W' to write the changed data to disk
10. Hit menu item F1 - Change selection
11. Hit menu item F5 - Select disk sector

14. You should find a 27 hex at your current cursor location. Change

a 'W' to write the changed data to disk
16. Hit the Esc key a few times to get out of Norton.
