I am trying to copy files from a zip disk to a CD. The
problem is that the files were stored to the zip while
running Win'98. the only file visible on the disk is the
following "read me" :

"This disk was compressed using DriveSpace 3, which
requires Windows 98.

To use this disk, you must first mount it. To mount it:

1. Run DriveSpace by choosing Run from the Windows 98
Start menu,and then typing DRVSPACE.

2. In DriveSpace, click the drive that contains this
disk,click the Advanced menu, and then click Mount.

(If this file is located on a drive other than the
physical drive
that contains the disk, then the compressed drive is
already mounted).

To automatically mount all available compressed drives,
click the Advanced menu, click Settings, and then check
the "Automatically mount
new compressed drives" box.

IMPORTANT: To mount and use this compressed disk, you
must be running Windows 98."

Everything I have read in the Windows help file says that
I should be able to view these files but I cannot figure
out how. Can Anyone help?
 
Drivespace was a Windows 98 utility that doesn't exist on XP. If the files
were compressed using a tool you received with your zip drive, you will need
it to uncompress the files and may have to contact Iomega for help with this
issue. If it was compressed using the compression utility on Windows 98,
you will need to uncompress the files using a Windows 98 setup before being
able to access the files in XP.
 
Thank You for your help!
