Hello, i bought WC1 on 5,25 Disks and a copy of those disks (because I have no 5,25" drive) on CD. Unfortainly copying the Files to Disk won´t let the installer work, it always asks me to insert Disk 1. I think those disks have to be labeled... but without a 5,25" Drive I cannot look on the disks what the labels were... Can somebody who knows please mail me the labels? Thank you! Regards, Jörg Hinz

ithink that a label isn't needed... you just have to copy the files to a folder and use the dos command subst... it will probably work "Joerg Hinz" <Hinz...@Linux-Systeme.de> wrote in message news:ac28e152.0301031819.2d1f396f@posting.google.com... > Hello, > > i bought WC1 on 5,25 Disks and a copy of those disks (because I have > no 5,25" drive) on CD. > > Unfortainly copying the Files to Disk won�t let the installer work, it > always asks me to insert Disk 1. > > I think those disks have to be labeled... but without a 5,25" Drive I > cannot look on the disks what the labels were... > > Can somebody who knows please mail me the labels? > > Thank you! > > Regards, > J�rg Hinz
