    Hi!

    I've got a ZIP file with 5 install floppy disk for a DOS program. I also have MS-DOS 7.1 running perfectly under Parallels.

    My question is.... how can I use these disks to install? The software itself is expecting 5 install disks, one by one. I tried copying all to the VM's DOS directory but the install program didn't like that and kept insisting on floppy disks (1.2MB!)

    Does anyone know how I can just make a floppy image of each of these folders so that I can run the install program?

    Thanks!

    Sure. Make 5 virtual floppy images with Parallels, copy the files over and the switch which one is connected to the VM when the program asks for the next disk.
