PREVIOUS FILES/DOCUMENTS

I just upgraded to XP PRO. It seems all of my previous
programs & documents are either gone or need to be
reinstalled. I had made a backup disk but neglected to
finalize it. How can I recover all my old programs &
documents?

Hi Bob,

If WinXP cannot read the disk, then you will likely need to install the
software that was used to create it. WinXP has trouble reading UDF disks
sometimes.
