I also suggest making an Image Folder so you can put each of the disc images into. For ease of use create a PC9821 folder on your C drive and put each of these program in it's own folder, they just need to be unzipped no installation required. You will be using the command prompt a lot so I suggest you find it. We'll look at the floppy method first as it is the easiest way to copy straight images and doesn't require you to remove the hard drive from the machine.

The other way is to use a floppy drive to copy images over. There are two ways to do you can this, one is to use a USB (or Firewire) / 2.5' Hard Drive adaptor (you could use internal adapters but I would not due to the hassles it can bring) and copy the files over using DISK EXPLORER. If you have a PC-98x1 machine and you have some games you may want to back them up or even run game images (from your back ups or for er other sources), you also might want to create a boot disc for your machine if the seller decided helpfully to reformat the hard drive to delete all their details before sending it to you so you just get a 'NO SYSTEM FILES' message on booting. Found this on a old hard drive, I was writing it for this site back in 2007, but never got around to posting it and I lost my collection of PC9801 games in a break in (although what idiot Japanese burglar thinks two boxes of PC98 games were worth money.)īacking up and recreating discs from the PC-98x1 to Windows and back again.
