Need Windows XP Help

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi,

I have two issues with my computer I need help with. My current
operating system is Windows XP.

1. Is there any way to print a listing of all of the files in a
directory, preferably from Windows? Also, is there a way to save that
listing to a text file?

2. When my last computer died, I could only get into DOS and not
Windows, and eventually I could only get into DOS safe mode. Before
the computer totally died, I was able to save many files off my hard
drive onto floppy disks from DOS. I can get the files off all of the
disks on my new computer normally, except for one disk. The floppy
disk shows up as having no files when I open it up in Windows.
However, my virus program finds like 70 files on it when I scanned it.
My old operating system was Windows 98, and my new operating system is
Windows XP. Is there a way I can retrieve the files on the problem
floppy disk, so that I can see them, open them, and use them in Windows
normally?

Thank you very much for any help.

utilities.
