hmm note sure what you want he, a little punctuation in your post may help.
I'm sure we can help just rewrite the situation a little better

It sounds like he's saying that the only way to get information on his ZIP disks is to make a compressed folder. And thats the only way he can back stuff up.

if i understand you right, you need information for the zip disk, which you can obtain from your hdd, and then you need to put it onto floppies so you can install it?
well, are they boot disks or anything like that? if not, just leave it on the zip disks and install it that way, or when you get it to the other pc, copy it onto the desktop and install it. and yea the zip disk is better off opposed to a floppy. holding up to 100mb and more. just drag and drop like you would a floppy.
