If you have COPY II+, I think it has an option to change the boot
program for the disk.

Otherwise, the easiest way to do it (i.e. without sector editing) would
be to load the HELLO program into memory (LOAD it, but don't RUN it),
and then place a blank disk in the drive and say "INIT HELLO".  This
formats the new disk and places the Hello program on it as the Boot
program.  You would then have to use some copy utility (try FID from
the DOS 3.3 master disk) to copy the rest of the files from the original
disk.
