    Is it possable to take all 13 of my windows 95 disks and put them on to one cd? I am hetting worried that they will go corrupt since they are so old. If i loose those i will no longer have a full install os. all of my other widows os's are upgrades.

    Yes, burning those floppies to a CD would be a good idea, your software license allows this, anyway. I think it would be a good idea to create a folder for each floppy, ie Floppy1.
    The downside to this as they are not standard 1.44 floppies. Creating new floppies from a CD will not be easy. I'll get back on this on how to do this, or maybe someone else will chime in.

    Probably the best software for making floppy image is WinImage:

    http://www.winimage.com/download.htm

    FloppyImage 1.52 is freeware :

    http://www.webgrid.co.uk/system.html

    (down on page 11 currently)


    or emtcopy:

    http://dvalot.free.fr/emtcopy.htm

    Others around are FloppyMaker, DiskCopyFast, CopyQM,
    and wimage ... all freeware.

    It's a very good idea to make image backups of all distribution floppies for anything that comes on a floppy. Ideally one would
    make images, write a new set and store the origionals away.

    Best
