Would anyone know if there's a way to either:
1) Copy/Transfer files from A: to a different floppy in A:? I tried A: -> B: - this doesn't work.
2) Modify the four unpopulated options in the Init command on the boot floppy to include BASIC.COM etc?
INIT your new disk to format and put a system & ccp.sys on it, thats essential to get started. Then put your boot disk back in and use PIP M:=A:BASIC.COM to copy Basic to your M: (memory) drive. Then PIP M:=PIP.COM to copy PIP to M: drive also. Replace your boot disk with the new INIT'ed disk and hit Control C. Move to M: drive and then type in PIP A:=M:BASIC.COM which will write Basic to your new disk.
Did the disk come with BACKUP on it, then run it with Source as A: and destination as A: and follow it instructions. Then boot that disk and delete all the file you dont want on that disk.
