Question:
I have BC/TC version x.x in 5.25" disks and my computer has
a 3.5" drive, I copied big disks to the little disks and it will not
install correctly. How do I install this?
Answer:
Copy all the information from the 5.25's to a directory on your
current machine (ie: INSTALL). Run the install program from your
hard drive.
(The problem you are having is based on the fact that there were
different disk layouts for different size disks --- and the
install program detects what type of disk it is being
run from and expects a particular layout based on that, so when
you copy to different size floppies, things don't work. Copying
over and running from the hard drive solves the problem. :))
