I have a small number of old programs that are still on floppy disks (multiple disks). One in particular I must install before I can apply the far better upgrade which is on CD.
I’m having to rebuild my machine soon, and would like to make theinstall a whole lot faster by putting the files onto CD-R and then installing them from there. Also, since CDs are prone to damage and faulty reads moreso than CDs, I’d like to be able to archive the program there.
How do I get the install program to look for, say, disk2 on the CD. I have had no success just copying the various files into subdirectories of “disk1,” “disk2,” etc. The initial install program works but when it goes to look for the next disk it won’t find it and there’s no option to tell it where to look.
I’m suspecting there must be some sort of info in an .inf file or something similar. Anything I’ve explored looks like gobbledygook or some sort of alien language– sorry, I don’t read hex.
Any help is appreciated.
