I have a lot of DOS, Windows 3.1, & IBM OS2 bootable diskettes. I hate to think of losing this software because every once in a long while, I install and run these systems. I am even musing about setting up a multi-OS system.

Is there a way of backing up Bootable Diskettes to a hard drive and/or to a CD (I have a CD-RW). I assume that if I can do a DOS DiskCopy-like function to the hard drive, I will be able to burn a CD.

It will also be necessary to have a way to create bootable diskettes from the backups.

Go to Shareware (http://shareware.cnet.com/) and search with diskette image. It came back with quite a few programs for that purpose.

Thanx, Reid. I will try the shareware site. Sounds like a good idea.
