expanding file from windows 98

[Carla]

I saved pictures to floppy on windows 98 and now want to
open on windows xp anget the following mesasge:
This disk was compressed using drivespace 3, using
windows 98. To use this disk, you must first mount it. To
mount it:
1.Run drivespace by choosing run on the windows 98 start
menu, and thentyping drvspace.
2. In drivespace, click the drive that contains this
disk, click the advanced menu, then click mount.

Tried this and there is no such command on xp. Help!!!

Use your Win98 pc to copy the files to an uncompressed floppy.

Hi, Windows XP is not open disks used with drivespace.

 

[Yves Leclerc]

Drivespace does not exist in XP. You must convert before sending the file
over to XP.

There is no DriveSpace 3 in xp. You will have to use win98 to uncompress the
floppy and then copy the pics to another normal floppy or a cd.
