24616 2001-11-15 22:42:00 I have a HDD that has been compressed and I need to get the data off it. The HDD has Win 98 os on it and im trying to access it with another PC which is running Win XP. All I can see is four files which are the compressed files but i can't open them or read them... any help would be appreciated. Guest (0)

But if your winXP partiton uses NTFS then you won't be able to write to it.

You could use DCC and a serial, or parallel cable,proper networking on ethernet. Guest (0)
