I have since tried to copy the disks from the second set to make backups and install on my machine. First my machine: IBM (yea thats right an IBM!!) PS/2 model 30 (8086 CPU) at 8 Mhz. 8087 math co-processor 640K RAM Paradise Professional VGA card IBM 8513 color monitor 20 meg. HD 1 720K 3.5 inch floppy drive external Hayes V series smartmodem 9600 IBM proprinter XL Microsoft mouse The machine is my mothers but I am a student so, Hey I'm on a budget. I have been using Borland C and Pascal for a long time, and quite happy with all of them. This is the first time I have had any trouble with any of the products. I find it hard to beleive that they have sent out 2 bad sets of disks especially to the same person. I have run other test on my machine and they all worked fine. I can even copy the other disks in the set but not the first one. I thought about crossing the 2 sets, using the first disk from the second set and the 9th disk from the second set. but the Borland rep said not to do that. Tell me if I am doing this right: c:> diskcopy a: b: this should copy disk 1 (drive a:) to disk 2 (drive a:) Also How much total disk space on the hard drive does it take up fully installed. P.S. I also tried 'copy a:*.* b:*.*' it also did not work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This?!?
