I would like to thank all the people who responded to the first post.
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.
