Teri Lee,
I strongly suggest that you copy these floppies onto a
new folder on
your hard drive and then burn them to something a little
more permanent (CD,
DVD). Floppies develop all sorts of corruption over time
and I'd hate to
hear that you 'lost' these treasures. You may find that
some disks are
already corrupted (they report errors as you try to copy
files from them).
Don't panic. Copy the files you can copy without incident
and then delete
those files from the floppy. Then, use Windows Scandisk (or
Chkdsk) in
Thorough mode to allow it to attemp to recover the corrupted
files. You may
have to repeat the process several times per floppy to get
all of the files.
If there are any files you simply cannot recover, give me a
yell since I
also have these OS's stored somewhere. I won't send you the
entire OS
(illegal), but I have no problem filing in a few files for
ya. :O)
Peace,
GMan
