First question:
I would like to take a progam that came on three floppy disks and save it to a CDR for installation. Is there an easy way to do this? It's not going to ask for each disk even if it's all on the CD is it?

Second question:
I made a copy of Front Page 2000 for myself and tried to use it the other day and the product key won't work. I verified the key when I brought the original CD back from work. Any ideas on why it's not installing? Sure I could just install it from the original, but I'm determined to get to the bottom of this!!!

THANKS THANKS THANKS

To the first question-
Just take the disks' contents and put them all onto the cd. Don't put them in folders like 'disk1' 'disk2' & 'disk3' or they won't work. The only fore-seeable problem would be that the files may have the same names. If they have *.txt or *.nfo, don't worry about them.

As for the second,
It should 'backup' fine. 98 did and so did Office 2000 Premium (w/ FP 2K) Maybe it was a bad burn. If that doesn't work out, go to www.system-failure.com (http://www.system-failure.com) to find your options. They can help you back up stuff.

PS- On System-failure, be sure to scroll all of the way to the bottom. They have an add at the top to sell their domain.
