How to do without a floppy drive?

question not very precise!

if the software is stored on three floppy disks how can you transfer these files to the hard drive without a floppy disk drive?

a floppy disk drive costs roughly €15

If you have a PC with USB ports
If you have a USB flash drive
If you have a buddy who has a PC with a floppy disk drive and USB ports

You transfer everything to your flash drive and go back to install it peacefully at home: your flash drive becomes your reader with your saved floppy disks on it.

See you later...

I tried to do this by copying a diskette directly into a different file but it doesn't work. Isn't it the same thing?

On my friend's PC that has a floppy disk drive, I copied disk 1 to a file, then disk 2 to another one, etc.
For the installation, I indicated file number 1 instead of floppy disk 1.
And it doesn’t work.
I get the message "file not found."
With the floppy disk, I need to install the disk named "disk 1" or #1. Maybe I need to name the files disk 1, disk 2, etc.
If it doesn't work on his PC with the files from his hard drive, it won’t work on a USB stick either. Otherwise, I would have burned the files onto a CD.

without being indiscreet, what is your software?

I know it's not very recent anymore, but I've been using it for several years and I know it well. I'm too lazy to use another one.

It's simply that you create a shortcut instead of putting the file in the folder, so you need to copy and paste and not just drag your file.

Burn the floppies onto a CD, then install from the CD.
