To mount it:<br/><br/>  1. Run DriveSpace by choosing Run from the Windows 95 Start menu,<br/>     and then typing DRVSPACE.<br/><br/>  2. In DriveSpace, click the drive that contains this disk,<br/>     click the Advanced menu, and then click Mount.<br/><br/>(If this file is located on a drive other than the physical drive<br/>that contains the disk, then the compressed drive is already mounted).<br/><br/>To automatically mount all available compressed drives, click the<br/>Advanced menu, click Settings, and then check the "Automatically mount<br/>new compressed drives" box.<br/><br/>IMPORTANT: To mount and use this compressed disk, you must be running<br/>           Windows 95 and DriveSpace 3.<br/><br/>and on other disks it just says that the disk is not formatted and asks if i want to format it.<br/><br/><br/>I know all the disks have info on it and i really want to see what is on them...Can anyone please help me out here...I know it says i must be running 95 but is there a way around that?You can read the floppy in Windows 98.
