Two comments - you are hitting an ASCII 26 character at position 215 in the image header. When you open a binary file and read it as text, when you hit CTRL-Z (26) the read returns EOF.

Open the file as binary., write to a binary-open file.

Or do it the easy way:

int retval = CopyFile("C:\\folder\\file1.exe","d:\\folder\\anotherfile.exe",0L);

include windows.h

Oh. forgot.

stat the file to get it's size.

struct stat a;
 if(stat("C:\\myfile.exe",&a) ){
       perror("Cannot stat file");
       exit(1);
  }
  printf("File size in bytes is %d\n",a.st_size);
