Copy Protection

Hello all,

I am in need of some advice. I would like to make a diskette that contains
private data
non-transferable to another diskette. What I mean is writting bits to the
boot sector or
a set of bits at a certain sector that would if copied, be transfered to
another location on
the copy to diskette making it inoperable. Is there a way to protect serial
numbers on
diskettes that anyone knows about? What sectors or hidden sectors would not
transfer
if a copy was made? There must be a way!

I agree that some of the virus code out there might help in this situation.
I would rather stay away from this type of copy protection...

I thought about using a scatter scheme "broken files" that could only be put
back together,
if I could find out how to protect the disk first..

Any GREAT ideas.... very much appreciated!
