17523 2001-08-24 09:36:00 Bought a program last week on a single floppy.

I want another copy solely for backup/security purposes.

Crafty programmer has made original disk able to be copied, but program will not run from subsequent copy.

Ideas welcome. Can supply the text of the install bat file on request.

Thanks.....John

Read the original disk to get the volume label with dir then format the new disk, and when prompted for a label, enter in exactly the same label as is on the original disk. That could be all it needs. Guest (0)
