Floppy to CD

Doing it is simple.
Just create a set of folders on your hard drive, and copy the disks to the folders.
Create the CD by copying the files onto a CD.

There may be problems in setting up the file structure to perform an install from the CD.

Look at the files for each disk.
1. Are there any common file names?
1a. If so, are the files identical?
2. Are there any files that specifically identify the disks?

If the answer is no to both questions, you should be able to lump all thefiles together into a single folder and create the CD.
This should also work if you can answer yes to the first question and the sub-question.

If the answer is yes to either question, can you point the installation to an alternate location for each disk?

If so, create folders labeled for each disk. Use the volume label from the floppy for the folder name.

If you cannot re-direct the installation, then you may not be able to install the software from a CD.
However, the CD would provide a useful backup for the install floppies.

Look at the Disk Label and create directories with the same name as that, copy the files from that disk to the directory with the same name. This worked very well for a 22 disk set copied to D: due to a teenager/computer that did not interface very well. The normal 30+min installation only took 2-3 min, should work just as well from a CD.
