Teri Lee,
    I strongly suggest that you copy these floppies onto a new folder on 
your hard drive and then burn them to something a little more permanent (CD, 
DVD).  Floppies develop all sorts of corruption over time and I'd hate to 
hear that you 'lost' these treasures.  You may find that some disks are 
already corrupted (they report errors as you try to copy files from them). 
Don't panic.  Copy the files you can copy without incident and then delete 
those files from the floppy.  Then, use Windows Scandisk (or Chkdsk) in 
Thorough mode to allow it to attemp to recover the corrupted files.  You may 
have to repeat the process several times per floppy to get all of the files. 
If there are any files you simply cannot recover, give me a yell since I 
also have these OS's stored somewhere.  I won't send you the entire OS 
(illegal), but I have no problem filing in a few files for ya.         :O)

Peace,
GMan
