SYMPTOMS
While trying to make backup copies of the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 5.1 distribution disks one of the disks will not copy. The disk that will not copy is labeled &quot;Microsoft CodeView and Utilities for MS-OS/2.&quot;



CAUSE
The disk should be fine. The information on this disk is required only by individuals who have MS-OS/2 and was intentionally saved on a high-density formatted disk.



RESOLUTION
Since OS/2 must be run on a 286 or 386 machine, reading this disk will not be a problem since these machines typically have high-density floppy drives.

If your machine is less than a 286, you probably have a low-density disk drive and you will not be able to read this disk; however, you will not be running under MS-OS/2 and will not need the information on the disk anyway.
