Hi, I hope someone can help me with this .... one of my employees did a data
files backup using windows 98 backup utility onto floppies, deleted the
files, then upgraded the system to XP. Of course XP won't read the backup
discs that were created. Is there anyway I can restore these data files in
XP that were backed up in 98 ??? Save me, please.

I don't know if this will work but have you tried restoring the files to a
windows 98 system then transferring them over to the XP system?

BackUP MyPC from Stomp should allow you to work with those Win9x backup
files under XP.

A trial download is available.

One possibility is, find a machine that will read the floppies and e-mail
the information to the XP machine.

LOL, JAX
