Sounds *worse* than Microshaft XP :)
What are the exact model/number/descriptions of the drive?
With some research there may be a way to do a direct copy from drive to drive

Anybody have an original OS install floppy? (unused I guess) I have a system
that would have a good chance of imaging it and copying it.
