Copying Files to Floppy and Zip DisksCopying files (Web site hosting)
Copying Files to Floppy and Zip DisksCopying files to Zip and floppy disks is virtually identical to copying files fromone folder to another. You just have to know how much stuff you re about tocopy to the disk, because the capacity of the disk will be limited (verylimited, in the case of a floppy). To see exactly how much space is currently availableon a Zip or floppy disk, follow these steps: STEPS:Copy Files to a Floppy or Zip Disk1.If you haven t already done so, insert the disk you want to copy filesto and open My Computer. 2.Right-click the icon that represents the drive into which you justinserted the disk and choose Properties. 3.In the Properties dialog box that opens, the numbers next to FreeSpace show you how much space is available on the disk. For exam- ple, a brand new floppy disk with no files on it yet will offer about1,457,664 bytes, or roughly 1.38MB, of space. 4.Click OK in the Properties dialog box to close that dialog box. The next step is to open the source folder the folder that currently containsthe files you want to copy to the disk. Presumably, this will just be some folderon your hard disk that you can navigate to by opening your My Documentsfolder and by using the standard Windows Explorer techniques to navigate tothe folder. Finding the Combined Sizes of Multiple FilesOnce you can see the icons for the items you intend to copy to the disk, youneed to select those icons. Use any technique described in the section Working with Multiple Files and Folders in Chapter 19 to select the files andfolders you wish to copy. To see how many bytes it s going to take to storethose files, follow these steps: 1.Right-click any selected icon and choose Properties. 2.In the Properties dialog box that opens, look at the number next toSize on Disk. 3.Click the Cancel button in the dialog box. Figure 21-6 shows an example where I select several pictures in my MyPictures folder and am currently looking at their combined sizes. Sincethetotal is less than 1.4MB, I could fit these files on a single floppy. If you selected more files than there re room for on the disk, you ll need toselect fewer files and try again. After you ve selected the files you want to copyChapter
