I'm not sure what you mean. You are going to reinstall wfw without the diskettes? How? Do you have the diskettes burned to a CD? You ask what should be copied to a disk before you reinstall. What do you mean by disk? Diskette or hard disk? Are you talking about backing up your system before reinstalling? Or, are you asking what files from the installation diskettes are necessary to install wfw, so you can copy them to your hard disk or to a CD or something?

Think about the following before you re-install
If you are going to do a total re-install of your harddrive, Have you got an install set of MS-DOS?
Have you got a working set of WfWG 3.11?
Have you got install disks for any programs installed? Most need to be re-installed as well.
Find out which Graphics Card or any other add-ons such as CD-ROM Drives need drivers. Download them from the Net before you start. (CD-ROM would only need re-installing if you wipe your harddrive & DOS as well)
