- You dont mention Windows but you mention the file manager so here's a
- suggestion. WinDupe. I FTP'd it from cica. It loads a image of the disk into
- memory and allows you to make multiple copies of the disk from memory or lets
- you save the disk to a file on your hard drive. Then you can copy it to disk
- at a later time.
