I've finally gotten around to backing up a lot of my old floppies, and it's been going pretty well but the first 4 (of 5) disks for Quest for Glory 2 won't read at all. In winimage it says a disk is not in the drive, which I haven't seen before, and I even tried reading them on the only other computer I have set up with a 5.25 in floppy drive and it won't read them either. Disk 5 reads perfectly fine. The only physical difference I can see of the 4 disks is that none of them have that center ring (where as the 5th does), but carefully cutting the ring off of another disk and carefully placing it on one of them didn't result in any difference. Any ideas on what might be going on? I've already succeeded in backing up Sierra games from before and after this game came out. It does strike me as weird that Quest for Glory 2 has 5 disks while Hero's Quest had 10, but I know the game has a lot of asset re-using so I could see it.
