drivespace

[RA]

Is there anyway to get drivespace or doublespace installed on WinXP SP2?
Have some old zip disks which were compressed back when I used win95/98 and
now I can't "read" them. TIA

No. Your best bet would be if you know someone with a PC still running Win
98 to access them there. Another option that will be doable only if your
hard drive is formatted in FAT32 (i.e. not NTFS) is to copy the files to the
hard drive, boot from a Win 98 boot floppy disk, and access them that way.

Hi Carey,

We're talking about Drive Space here - not backups. Remember!

Drive space is a compression scheme used in Win9x hard drives and floppies
and has nothing to do with backups.
