- If you used a backup program like Quarterback, the floppies are
- written in a non-standard format. You need the backup program to read
- the floppies. Restore your harddisks as though you have a new virgin
- system. Load the OS from the floppies. Then install your backup
- program. Finally, start the backup program and restore from the
- floppies.
