If you went through DOS I think the only capabilty you would have to back up your items would be to a floppy. Not sure though

A few ideas:
Buy a new small hard disk and ask them to copy files from the old, or do this yourself by setting the new HD as slave and connecting it to CD-ROM ide ribbon cable (only if you know what you are doing) Or take your Hard Disk to someone (who knows what you are doing) with a computer with CDR/RW, connect your HD as slave and copy contents to CD. Or the painful way of backing up to 100s of floppies using WinZip (shudder) But, If it was me, I would buy a new PC (or second hand if tight on money, even if it’s a PIII 450Mhz) --------------------  |
