Drivespace 3 Formatting and Windows XP Pro.....Help!

[Guest]

Hello Everyone,

I need your help. I have a couple of zip disks (100mb) that were formatted
under Drivespace 3 on my old computer using Windows 98 OS.

There are important pictures that I wanted to open, escpecially my Rotti
puppy at shows.

What can I do to open the formatted disk with XP Pro.

Since I do not have access to a 98 OS system what other options do I have?

I appreciate any help you can offer me.

Thanks,
Doug

Windows XP does not support DriveSpace. You'll have to find a
PC running Windows 95 or 98 or ME and decompress those files.

Cannot Restore Backups That You Create in Windows 95, Windows 98,
or Windows Me with the Windows XP Ntbackup Tool

Use a win9X pc. Recover the data. Then transfer to your XP pc.
