- Hi,
-
- I wrote a windows setup program that basically copies the files of an
- application to the hard drive. The application takes up 13 megabytes of
- disk space. The setup program runs fine if I install from the hard drive to
- the hard drive, but when I put the files on floppies, I get a disk read error
- on the 5th disk. I know there's nothing wrong with the disk itself. I think
- the problem might have something to do with windows unable to keep track of
- more than 4 floppies at once. Any ideas how to fix this?
-
- Also, how to software distributors pack files on floppies, so that all the
- floppy disk space is used? Pkzip works, but it doesn't work well as a
- setup program.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Quoc
