Read 98SE backup with XP

[Guest]

I found a backup of old computer, that used Windows 98SE, on a ZIP drive.
Tried opening it up with XP but it would not read it. Is there anyway to
reaed this backup with new computer using Windows XP. I have the ZIP drive
on new computer.

Windows 98 and XP use 2 different backup programs that are not
interchangeable and cannot read each others backup files.
You will need to use a 3rd party backup program to open those 98 files.
