In need step by step help on how to put my floppys onto cds ?

Question

I'm not sure how to extract info from floppy A discs on to my cds.
is there some one who can go through this process step by step?

Answer 1

Create a folder on your desktop > put your floppy's in one at a time and drag all files into this new folder > Put blank CDR or CDRW in drive > menu pops up > select file cd > it will ask you what files you want to burn > find that new folder you created on your desktop > Burn CD!!!

Answer 2

Because of the difference in what a floppy holds and what a CD holds, and because you can only write to a CD once, it is not easy to copy several floppies diretly to a CD.

Instead, create a folder on your hard drive. Put the floppies one by one into your drive and copy them into the folder. You may want to create a subfolder for floppy to make it easier later to find things.

Once you have enough stuff in the folder to fill up a CD (they can hold 700 mb of files), then burn the content of the folder to a CD.

Verify that the CD is good, then delete the folder off your hard drive.

Repeat process if you still have more floppies.

Answer 3

I think the easiest way to do this is put the floppy disk into the drive. Open up windows explorer. Create a new folder either on the desktop or C: where you can copy the files off the floppy disk. Copy the files from all your floppy disks to this new folder. Once you have everything copied to the hard drive of your computer you can put a blank cd into your cd/rw drive and copy the files from your new folder to the blank cd.

Answer 4

Copy all the files from your floppy discs into a folder on your pc, then when the folder is roughly 700 or less, use some burning software such as Nero or windows burning engine to burn your cd.

If you need step by step, then use google. It's pretty easy.

Answer 5

1. transfer all data from the floopys to your harddrive orgranize the data in folders

2. put the cd rw in the burner and with a burning program make data cd
