I got some WFW 3.11 floppies about a year ago with a similar problem. Turns out the disks had gone bad during storage.

I'd suggest trying it on another system - and if that doesn't work, then start looking for the replacement files on the web.

OK. Then try this one. I have this. I have no use for it anymore, but it was a life saver in my Xp and 98 days.
