You can get a Linux self-booting CD and try it, or you can format a 3 1/2 disk with DOS only, boot using it, and use dcopy... To format a DOS disk open a command prompt and type: FORMAT A: /S This should make the disk DOS-bootable and transfer the system files (command.com and msdos.sys) to it. But I don't know if it still works on XP, my comp with XP doesnt have a floppy :( If it doesnt work, you can always try DOSBox, a "Dos emulator"... But XP should be able to read 720kb disks without a problem... so, check it the PC drive is working - and also the MSX drive too.
