Hm, I'm actually using a Dell internal floppy drive. However, if it reveals to be a good tool to format in another sizes, let's try this! I already crossed the path of WinImage for writing usual 1.44 Mb images, but as it was shareware, I forget it quickly. I tried to search the forums before posting, but if there's something yet, I was unable to figure it out. But it would still be good to know if there is still a proper way to reformat a floppy on something bigger than 1.44 Mb.īy the way : I'm sorry if a similar question has already been asked before. I often copy the Windows 9x files directly to the old computer hard drive to install it. Well, it's not a very important issue, actually. Indeed, I tried to google and regoogle that, again and again, but the few tips I managed to find out there revealed unusable (missing software, missing many many many leads to use the software properly.). I'm barely old enough for having known the period when 3.5' were still of use.

1.68 Mb floppies, something that I discovered very recently. Windows 95, for example, is mostly stored on. However, for floppy versions (3.5', I haven't tried the bigger things yet), I'm facing an issue for OS images. My main, actual computer is slowly transforming in some kind of second storage for all this great vintage things you got there. Then, I started to sift through Google in order to find everything that these old machines could use : drivers, software, OS. I've been lurking around the WinWorld website for few months now, as I'm gathering a little collection of ancient IT things (laptops from the 90's, mostly), and a great part of the fun is to make them nearby as functioning as they were!
