I want to read some old 1,44Mb disks, that have double disk space by Drive
Space of Windows 95, on my PC that runs on Windows XP Home Edition.
How can I do this?

You can't unless having a Win95 system available. When compressed with
"DriveSpace3" from the "Plus!95" Package, you can use a Win98 system as
well.

If not, search Google for -floppy double space XP read- without the dashses
and you'll get lots of hits. Above is the very first one displayed. Google

You'd be lucky if the disks will work at all, as the average life of a
floppy disk kept in a desk drawer is only 5 years.
