Hi Jeremy,


I gave up on installing Ubuntu. It showed 2 error messages when I tried to 
install it from my 64 GB USB flash drive.

I'm trying to install ZoomFloppy on WIndows 10 now.


Cheers,

Marlon S.

If you're still using Ubuntu, the Windows drivers won't do you any good. You 
might want to try these instructions:

Greetings.


I am trying to get ZoomFloppy to work, but I'm having some problems. The README 
file says that with all architectures, to rename x86\libusb0_x86.dll to 
libusb0.dll, but the computer won't let me rename it, even though the file 
isn't protected by a password and it isn't read-only. Any help would be 
appreciated.


Thanks,

Marlon S.
