TITLE : Suggestions for Installing from Backups
At times, Borland software is purchased using a disk format
different from that used by your computer. For instance, your
computer may use 3½" diskettes but the software came with 5¼"
diskettes or vice versa. Often folks will take the software to a
friend using both diskette formats and make a set of disks in the
format that they need.
However, when running the install program, you will find the
program asking for more diskettes than you have or failing to do
everything the manual indicates it will do. These problems
result from moving the software from one format to another. The
install program depends upon the original diskette format.
To resolve the problem, call Borland's Disk Replacement Line at
(800) 621-3132 and order a set of diskettes in the proper format.
Be sure to have your serial number handy when calling this
service.
If immediate installation is required and sufficient hard disk
space is available, you may copy all files from all diskettes to
a single temporary directory on the hard disk. Run install from
this directory on the hard disk. When install is finished,
delete files from the temporary directory. Then you will be able
to run the software normally.
