I understand that having step-by-step guides would be very nice but there are so many different things that users can achieve with EMXP that it's simply impossible to write step-by-step guides for all of these scenarios. Remember: EMXP supports multiple samplers, multiple disk/file types per sampler, and multiple types of activities (reading, writing, formatting, copying, deleting, converting, ...)
That being said... the problem regarding creating Emax ZIP disks and how to efficiently copy banks to them is imho actually pretty well explained in the manual (including step-by-step text boxes) in chapter 6.1 on page 107-109.
Good to hear that you succeeded in creating the Emax ZIP disk.
Regarding the floppy drive issue: it could be the head alignment/calibration of the Emax drive itself which is deviating too much from the standard norm (as opposed to the floppy drives of your PCs)

need to make a zip disk, so in next post I am posting an easy, step by step guid on how to create a zip disk.
Thanks for making this freeware Program...we'd all be screwed without it way worse than if we didn't have it
