Corrupted Install Disk for VB 4.0

I have a copy of VB 4.0 that I had on my old computer. I hadn't done much with it, but was just starting to play around with it a bit when my old computer died. When I attempted to install the program on my replacement computer, I get a message that the first disk [3-1/2" disks] is not formatted. Obviously it's become corrupted somehow. All of the other disks "read" okay, but I can't install the program without the entire set :-(.

I know this is an older program, but your forum seems to have people that are still using it. Does anyone know of a way I can get a replacement copy [through e-mail, download, or snail-mail] of the first install disk?

Thanks

If it is a legal copy then MS might be able to help or some antivirus software suites can check disks and I mention this because it seems that MS OS's seem to try to write the FAT back to the disk thus creating two FAT's for the disk.

Good Luck
If anyone has helped you solve your problem, please mark your thread as solved.

Thanks
