Quite awhile ago I made the switch from my old pc that had a 3.5" floppy drive to a pc that doesn't have a floppy drive at all. In prep for this, I took ALL of my games and programs from the floppys and dropped each disk into a separate file.

As of late I've been wanting to play one of my old games, Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe (SWOTL). It was a game that had 3 install disks. When I saved the files I saved them as

SWOTL (folder)
/ | \
Disk 1(folder) Disk2(folder) Disk 3 (folder)
| | |
Files On Disk 1 Files On Disk 2 Files On Disk 3


Now when I run the install.exe from Disk1 Folder, It installs and then requests disk 2, and that's where I can't get any further. All the info is there for it to install but it just doesn't seem to be seeing it.

Any suggestions?when it asks for disc 2 do you not have the option to browse for the source?you could try throwing the files on a FLASH drive. do the first disk first, then delete the files, and copy the second disk, etc., etc. You might have to reassign the letter of the drive in computer MANAGEMENT if the setup program is looking for A:\ specifically.davidoc - Unfortunately it does not give me the option.. it tells me

"please insert disc 2 into drive C: and press any key"

and then dings at me when I hit a button.


michaewlewis - Maybe there's a way I can trick it like you're saying. I just hope that I haven't destroyed the files. They say a new copy of the game still RUNS $20, and it was made in 1993!


Thanks for all the help!you can buy a usb floppy drive on www.newegg.com for $20Possibly the installer prgram will be happy if you just copy the files from the disk2 and disk 3 folders into the disk1 folder and then just hit a key each time the message comes up (if it does). I have done this with various floppy install sets and it works in many cases.
