I'm having trouble starting up Lion. I downloaded it and unzipped all the folders, but when I clicked the one that says "install" in Lion-FIX, it asked for the disk. By the way I have Windows XP. Thanx!

Try putting each "disk" onto a real floppy disk ("Disk 1" folder [or whatever name it uses] would go one floppy, etc). If you do this, don't copy the folder itself onto the disk... copy just the contents of the folder.

Or, try DOSBox. What may be happening is that it's programmed to only install from a floppy disk (drive A or B). So you'll want to start up DOSBox and mount the game into drive letter A and then try installing it.

I don't have the game, so cannot test it, but that would be my assumption.

Another possibility -- some zipped-up floppy games don't have the folders labelled correctly for each disk, so it can't install it without putting each onto a disk and installing it that way.

So I should put all of the folders on one floppy disk?

If the folders are labeled "Disk 1", "Disk 2", etc. then you want Disk 1 on its own disk even if multiple folders fit onto a single disk.
