I got a bunch of boot floppies that I want to keep in the hard drive, but I tried copied the files in the hd and then recopy back to the flopy but they don't work or boot. So how do I get them into the hd and when I need them, can copy back onto flopies and they work?:D

WinImage (http://members.aol.com/gvollant/winimage.htm) will do it for you. The reason they didn't work is that the system files, IO.SYS etc have to be in a certain spot on the disk. If you go to BootDisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com/) you can download one file that will create the disk when you run it. All you need is a blank formated floppy.;)
