Need Win 2k to load a file saved on Win 95 OS via floppy!!

[Edgy]

Is there a app in win 2k that allows copying of a file that exists on a floppy from win 95?

thanx

No,

I have a some turbo tax files backed up on floppy.

turbo tax was installed on win95.

The computer crashed (hd failure).

Have a laptop with win 2k only. Don't want to dual boot on this one.

Want to copy the turbotax files on the floppy to my laptop.

Any software to enable this?

Errrm, you should be able to read the win95 floppy from win2k! Win2k supports all MS's file systems, it's Win95 that doesn't (so you couldn't read a NTFS disk in win95).

You will of cource need turbo tax installed on your laptop.

IIRC, floppys for PC are formatted in a universally readable format, regardless of OS. The only problems you'd run into is if you were trying to use Mac-formatted floppy's on PC (and there's software to get around that).
