Accessing DBLSPACE volumes in XP

Hey folks.

I have a few diskettes that have valuable information on
them that were written using DBLSPACE during the Win95
and Win98 days. I cannot access these disks now (at least
not the doublespaced portions of them).

Is there any thing I can do to get the files off these
diskettes?

Your help appreciated much.

I am not an expert but I would suggest borrowing a
machine w/ the proper OS, copying them to a folder & then
re copy them onto a CD or floppies. Easy way out!
 
Tom may not think he's an expert, but he gave you the right answer. XP
doesn't read disks compressed with DoubleSpace or DriveSpace.
