I want to make a copy of a floppy without opening each
document and inserting new floppy and save each
individually. How do I select all and copy?? thanks

You used to be able to go to the Windows Dos prompt, change to A: drive, and
then type Copydisk A: A:

In XP you click Start, click My Computer, right click the floppy drive and
click Disk Copy.

Follow the screen prompts.

How about copying the floppy contents to the harddisk and copy them back to
the new floppy?

In case you haven't figured it out yet, this is exactly what Diskcopy does
automatically, and saves all the extra work from you having to do it.
