Hi, I try to copy DOS 7 on CD-rom (I use DCF "disk copy fast" for XDF formatted floppy), but the program make me able only to duplicate floppy and not to copy it on hard disk. How can I do?

XDF format is a special diskette format that applies only to diskettes. The copy program on the PC DOS 7 diskettes only supports making copies of diskettes to diskettes.
There is a special version of the program that can save images to disk drive and then make diskettes from these images, but this version was not distributed. You might be able to buy a copy from the company that developed the XDF format program.
