Hello All, I really can use some help on this
one... I have a 6MB datafile backed up onto
four 1.5MB floppy disks under the old Windows
3.1 system using MS Backup. Now I need to
bring them back onto a Windows 95 system but
can't use MS Backup because the files are
named Cc40412a.001, .002, .003 and .004 -
renaming the first to .QIC (what MS Backup
expected) didn't work at all.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

i believe you can simply drag and drop them to the hard drive, this doesnt reinstall them however, good luck
X-)
 
I think that you can go into dos and when you are to the c: prompt type in a:/ which will take you to the a:/ then type in a:/install and where you would like to install it to and that might work it will install the stuff that is on your disk.
