June 30, 2012 Copying from a floppy | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I have located my original Empire Wargame of the Century floppy and Command Manual. I want to load the game on my gaming PC but I'm having trouble with it. My gaming PC runs the Windows 7 64 bit OS. I purchased an external USB 3.5" floppy drive to use for my old games. When I try to copy the floppy to a directory in my PC I get a message that says the disk is not readable. If I download DOSBox will it allow me to copy the floppy? I suspect the the command prompt will not read the floppy because it is not really DOS but Windows 7. Can anyone give me some guidance? |

The disk media very well may be deteriorated over time.....will the drive read the disk at all..?
