Try the downloaded DOS version, it's a boot floppy maker.

I think you misread the post I need to copy a WD with this program.


The weirdest thing is happening I know that the exe is working properly because I downloaded it on my wifes computer and it works fine. What would stop my computer from opening this program properly????

When I check in the programs folder it seems to be there and all in order but it wont open, it keeps giving me those errors I showed you on my first post.

Any suggestions?? Thanks

No, I didn't misread anything, you aren't listening.

Download the DOS version of DLG 11. Run it. It will tell you to put a floppy in your drive. When it's done writing the floppy, boot the computer with it. Go through the setup menus, one of the options is to copy your drive to another one, just like with the Windows version, and the DOS version is more reliable - that's the only version that I will use.

YOU were right I was wrong.( Sounds like I'm talking to my wife) Sorry I'm not a wiz at this stuff by any means and I do tend to miss a lot. Thanks for the refresh, I did what you said and it works perfectly but much harder to understand, for me at least
