I Don't Have a Floppy Disk Drive... Now What?

If you don't have access to a Floppy Disk Drive, then you have two choices.

1) Purchase one. Internal Floppy Disk Drives cost around $10.00 if you shop and are very easy to install as long as you have an available exposed drive bay in your computer case. If you don't, you could also purchase an external USB floppy drive. These are a little more expensive.

2) Create the bootable diskette on someone elses computer if you have to. Pick a friend or office acquaintance that has not only a floppy drive but also a CD-RW drive. Using the CD-RW software, select to create a "bootable" CD. The software should prompt you for a "Boot Disk". Simply supply the WreckDisk floppy diskette as the operating system disk and your CD software will use it to create the boot section on the CD. Now you have a boot'able CDrom Disc that will run the WreckDisk program.
