Windows 95b/98a BACKUP disk Set  UPDATED

Printer Copy
 What you need is:
 Access to a pc with a CD ROM
 29 blank floppy disks…(good quality brand not cheap ones see note 4)
 A copy of windows 95b CD 
 A copy of MaxiDisk 4.2 from http://www.herne.com/
(I use this one) they are shareware programs that will format a 1.44  floppy to 1.7 MB

For Windows 3.x, '95, '98 and ME. Not XP

Settings

 Setup32 (aol) 6.573kb
 Cs3kit (CompuServe) 5.648kb

 Now copy (not extract) to one floppy file’s, precopy1 and precopy2.

 Notes
 Error messages:  comments
 1: If you get an error sending files to floppy you will need to redo that disk again, but not on that disk use a new one. (Note4)
 2: If you get an error copying files from floppy to the Harddrive you will need to redo that disk again but on a new disk not the  some one, and press yes to overwrite on reload to HD. (Notes)  
 3: If you get the error message on setup [can’t read from a:\] or [can't find missing file ] at 98% install just press skip or cancel and setup will continue.
 4: Some 1.44 floppies won’t format properly to 1.7 MB so get good quality brand
 5:If you do need this you will need a file shredder
 6: If a disk gets damage or corrupt at any time you only need to redo that one floppy, from any win95b CD ROM not the  whole set.
