Title: Windows 98 Files--Needing help desperatly!
Post by: clanof3 on September 25, 2008, 09:19:08 PM
I work for a company that has a very old computer with Windows 98 on it. The only thing it has on it is a floppy disk drive.  No USB, nothing. So I figured I could save the excel and word files to a disk and take them home and save them and e mail them via my Windows XP computer. No such luck. So what I need is a walk down of how to do this. Understand the old machine is very old and very very slow!  There are some very important files on there that I have no desire of trying to retype into the newer machine.  Oh and when I put the floppy in my Windows XP it asked for me to format the disk..So please please give me a walk through!
