You can run ScanDisk on the floppy to get a good idea. One way: Click Start,
click Run, type:
SCANDISK A:
and click OK.

Jim, thank you for the info. I ran the scandisk and it
said it could not fix all the errors. I have the complete
14 disk set and the only bad disk is the #1 setup disk.
is there anyway i can replace this disk? I also have the
win 95 cd/rom. Can i get the old computer to boot up to
it instead? Thanks, Rob

Though I'm not terribly optimistic with a product that has been discontinued
for several years, you should probably start with a phone call to
Microsoft's replacement parts number: 800-360-7561
