>I have successfully run the set-up wizard (for the first time) and it created 7 disk images (1.44MB). Each disk image is contained in a folder, which I opened, selected all files, and attempted to copy to a blank 1.44MB floppy. All went well until got an ACCESS DENIED/FULL disk message. That seems odd, since the wird is set up to create images to transfer to floppies. Same story on the other folders and associated blank floppies. st have a major misconception going on here. Help please.

How many files are going to the disk. DOS only allows 224 files to the root of a floppy disk. The setup knows this and only allows 224 files to be copied to a disk folder. Problem is the if you have a disk label on the floppy disk then you can only copy 223 files and you get an error message. Fix is to remove all disk labels from the floppy disks before copying to them.

If you are copying less than 224 an still get an error then do a scandisk on the floppy and make sure there are no bad sectors.
