My mother gave my 9 year old an old $2.50 bottom of the bargain bin piece of software, Win 3.1 the whole nine yards thing on floppy. My trouble is, I can't seem to keep floppy drives running in the kid's computer, spitwads, postcards you name it, it makes it into the drive. Anyways, I figured easy enough to overcome, that computer is hooked up to the network too, I will just copy the disk to a shared drive on the server and install from there.

The problem: They put some type of disk ID on the darn floppy, to prevent people doing what I am trying to do I suppose , but I want to overcome it, after all, I sure am not going to be installing this thing on more than just the one computer. I tried making an image and burning it to a CD too, thinking that would actually make a mirror image of the disk, that didn't work either. So without anybody actually seeing a copy of the disk, does anybody have a suggestion on how to make an installable copy of the darn thing?

Thanks

Could you share the floppy drive of one of your other PCs across the network? I've done this with CD-ROMs before, but it seems like it might work with floppies too...

Jeese so simple too! Thanks lebb *Don smacks himself up along side the head for missing the obvious.*
