I received a complete copy of Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in the mail today! Sadly, disks 3+4 aren't reading...

Does anyone have access to find disk images for this version? I've tried to locate them myself but can only find pre-installed versions for DOSBox etc. and I don't have access to those fancy archive sites that have everything!

It's on 4x 3.5" floppies - UK/French/German version - original disks below:

Yeah, they only have the US release and it's the full directory. Not disk images. I'm hoping to find the images so I can try to copy back onto the original disks (I've done this for a couple of other games I own which had the same issue)

You shouldn't refer a person to an abandonware site. That' a no no according to the rules.

I always download my floppy images from the "The Good Old Days IBM PC Floppy Collection" at archive.org

I found 5 different versions over there, just search for "Dune 2".
