Hi all,
My version of QuarkXPress 4.0 has been sitting on my shelf for a year without use. After reloading W2K Pro on Friday, I went to reload it along with other apps I use regularly. However, my install floppy disk is corrupted and I can't load Quark because of this. I will try to call Quark tech support tomorrow morning; but does anyone know a way of either loading without the install floppy disk or where I could aquire an image of it quickly? As far as I am aware, the install disk is nothing to do with licesnsing and all are alike. My copy of Quark is genuine from new and registered. If this question in any way contravines Windrivers T's & C's, then regulators please feel free to remove or halt the thread. Many thanks.

It's a long shot but try to copy it straight to the hard drive and install it from that folder - it will work. Apps are designed to do this so you may install from a network. As for getting a copy of it there are lots of file sharing utilities out there though I recomend you contact the manufacturer and get a replacement.
