Question:
I am trying to make backup copies of my distribution disks. One
of the disks will not copy; the disk is labeled "Microsoft CodeView and
Utilities for MS-OS/2." Is this disk corrupt?
Response:
The disk should be fine. The information on this disk is required
only by individuals who have MS-OS/2 and was intentionally saved on a
high-density formatted disk.
Since OS/2 must be run on a 286 or 386 machine, reading this disk
will not be a problem since these machines have high-density floppy
drives.
If your machine is less than a 286, you probably have a low-density
disk drive and you will not be able to read this disk; however, you
will not be running under MS-OS/2 and will not need the information on
the disk anyway.
