Comment: Alrighty. Through a series of events I needed Windows3.1 I found it on the net and put the appropiate files on the appropiate disks. Now, when I run the setup. It gets to roughly 33% and prompts me for Disk 1, and Disk 1 is what is in there. S.O.S

Reply: (edit)Meh. There was no other place to get it. I think its a problem with the disk labels. I am not sure what to call them. I think I would call disk 1: disk(6spaces)1 But it would still prompt me for Disc 1. Ugg.

Reply: (edit)I see... Then you can try to prepare a FAT16 partition (create , format). Install DOS. Then copy all the files you have on floppies to a temp directory , "c:\temp" for example. Note that I am used to do this because files are on your HDD , it's faster and better than remove and insert disks... Then start the computer (DOS) , and finally run the installation of Windows 3.1 from your HDD. You can directly write to me if you have more questions , or or anything else.

Reply: (edit)if it stops at the prompt for the file "winhelp", then you need to download a second disk no. one...this happened to me(i think from the same website)...whoever zipped that program up left out a crucial file...i had tro download Win3.11 disk one and used it instead with the win3.10 set, and it worked fine
