This probably should be a FAQ, but I didn't find it.  My kids got an
Ultima Game Set from Origin for Christmas. When I try to run it, it says
"Insert orginal disk on drive A:". I assume it is trying to read some
flakey sector or something.  Is there some way I can get around this
without booting with DOS? 

TIA, Bob
