Using DOS commands, I saved some old CAD drawings from an old computer onto a USB memory stick, to be able to transfer the CAD files onto another computer running Win XP Pro SP3 etc.
Problem: the old DOS based CAD files on the USB memory stick were not recognised by Windows Explorer.
Why would that be so, when the old HD connected via USB to the Win XP computer happily allows files to be transferred.
The memory stick has lots of files on it saved under Win XP - most of it not reconised on the DOS machine, but none of the directories created or files saved on the memory stick from the DOS machine are recognised by the Win XP machine. Mystified.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
