[newbie] How to copy a floppy?
This email was delivered to you by The Free Internet, a Business Online Group company. http://www.thefreeinternet.net --- Hi, Feels like I'm asking a pretty silly question here, but how do I copy one floppy disk to another? I want to make a copy of my boot disk without having to drag files to the hard disk and then copy them that way. I can find a program on my set-up for formatting a floppy, but not for duplicating. Thanks in advance - Gordon
