I have a program that I have used with window 98se and
backed up the data to a floppy disk. I have another
computer running windows xp. I installed the program on
the xp computer and have tried restore the data from the
98se data backup. xp shows the floppy to be empty, which
it is not. Help!
 
Greetings,

This may be due to a hardware fault with your floppy disk or your floppy
drive. Try testing the floppy disk on another pc and see if it works. If it
works then possibly your floppy drive on your XP machine seems to have
fault.

Thanks and best of luck!
 
If you used Win 98 Backup to create the disk, you will need Win 98 Backup to
restore the data.. do this on a Win 98 computer, then COPY the data to a
diskette.. XP will then be able to work with it..
