Re: samplitude installation problem

Hi,

this won't work. You really need the floppy disk as such, not just the
data it contains. There are certain special sectors on the disk that
will tell the installation that it's an original.
Try to get a USB floppy driver for your laptop, should be available on
ebay cheap.
