We use just regular 1.44 mb disks. They do not have to be formatted any special way. The DCF program actually copies the disk sector by sector and just reads and writes what it sees. So that means you could also copy disk from other OS's as well. If you have old corrupted and scratched disks, you might as well throw them out because they are no good anymore. If you try to copy them the corruption will follow.
One thing I dread about going to a 200d/Light site is the backup. I always hold my breath when I put those disks in, regardless of whether they are copies or not. Corruption can really screw up your day!

I know what you mean!!! This will only take a minute....hours later you're slamming your head against the wall!
One thing I noticed when using DCF is that the disks I'm trying to copy give a boot sector error notice. I hit "ignore" and continue successfully, figuring these aren't boot disks, so perhaps the DCF program is seeing something that is otherwise OK, but am I wrong here?

You're right you need to ignore the error when it pops up. I think it is saying that it doesn't recognise the medium because it isn't ibm compatible.
