Hi Todd
Yes of course you are right. Sorry if I misslead anybody. But it has
a lot of stages.
You have to format a new 720K floppy first.
It only works in TRUE DOS.
Only 720K floppies can be read and used.
You still have to copy the files to the HDD after.
Root-A-Ripper
No floppies needed
Will read both 720K AND 1.44M floppies
Copies files straight to the HDD.
Works in NT, 2000 and XP
