Installing ?

[meemee]

I have an older program that came on 3 floppy disks. My new computer does not have a floppy drive. Is it possible to copy those 3 floppy disks to a CD and install from that CD? If so -- How?

Thanks

Recommend you use a friend's or relatives PC and copy the
floppy disks to a CD-RW. Either copy and past or click
and drag. Then you can do the same to your harddrive.
Another new way is to buy a pendrive or thumbdrive.
Tiger Direct sells a 64mb thumbdrive for under $8.00 and
it plugs right into your USB port. It is excellent for
future copying, transferring, storing MP3s and/or data
files such as you have on your floppies. Just a
suggestion. It is the way of the future. Have a Happy
Thanksgiving!

Greetings --

Well, you'd have to start by purchasing and installing a floppy
drive, in order to read those diskettes before copying them to a CD,
so what would be the point? Alternatively, you could ask one of your
friends who has a PC with both a floppy drive _and_ a CD burner to do
it for you.
