| 1166077 | 2010-12-31 21:55:00 | Back in they day of '98 I compressed a whole heap of drives, now I need to open them again to check their contents. Win7 does not support drvspace as far as I know. other than installing win98 to a VM is there a way to view the file in 7? Cheers! |

| 1166078 | 2011-01-01 01:21:00 | Old drivespace - I remember that one. Described a little at Tom's Hardware (www.tomshardware.com), and computing net (www.computing.net) where may have to down load or create a boot disc from boot disk com. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1166079 | 2011-01-01 01:39:00 | I can figure this for floppys but I am using an external zip. should I just .iso the drive and mount it with VM? | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1166080 | 2011-01-01 02:22:00 | Appears to be the easiest way, as mentioned in the forum link above, not sure for zip drives. Linux approach is also mentioned. There is also a recovery tool if required noted here (en.allexperts.com) (from simtel.net) | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1166081 | 2011-01-01 06:40:00 | I got the one from simtel, after a bit of work I got it going... almost, it the decompression utility states "No Decompression engine running", apparently the drvspace service has to be running on the host machine :p I'm going to scrape out 98 SE and put it on my test rig ( wounder how it will like dual core CPU's?) |
