    Floppy disc copy

    I would like to make an extra copy of my floppy version of
    windows 95 upgrade.
    I see in disk properties that they are 1.62 megs in size.
    so when I try to copy to a standard floppy it will not fit.

    Is there a certian kind of floppy I can buy.
    or some way to format regular floppys for it to fit.

    Thank you very much.
    Bob

    The 1.68 MB floppy disks are called DMF format. You can copy them using http://www.winimage.com/

    Or, you might try http://www.winzip.com/ You can download the Evaluation version for free.

    It will try to compress the file and then copy the file on to how ever many floppies it takes. This way, you can still use the standard 1.44MB floppies...it will continue 1.62MB onto a second one.
