You fold it up REAL small and ..... :) Actually it's easy. Make a bootable 3.5 inch disk (FORMAT A: /S or FORMAT B: /S whichever your 3.5 is). Then copy the files from the 5.25 to the 3.5 (COPY A:*.* B: or COPY B:*.* A:) Going from 5.25 to 3.5 is cake since there is more room on a 3.5. Going the other way can be a problem. It's tough stuffing 1.44 meg of data on a 1.2 meg (or even 360k!) floppy :) -- ...uunet!wa3wbu!frackit!dave -or- | Dave Ratcliffe | frackit!dave@uunet.UU.NET -or- dave@frackit.uucp -or- | Sys. <*> Admin. | vogon1!compnect!frackit!dave@psuvax1.psu.edu | Harrisburg, Pa. |
