Hi everyone...

Have a friends laptop that Windows 98 (first edition) has crashed.
(Actually an Explorer.exe error.) I can not get windows to boot either in
Normal Mode nor Safe Mode. I can place a Windows boot disk and boot to DOS.
I need to get about 85MB of documents and such off the drive and reinstall
windows. Not wanting to feed floppies in all weekend, I would like to hook
up my external Zip 250 to the printer port and copy the files from the DOS
prompt. Unfortunately, the Zip drive isn't seen in DOS. Anyone know of a
way to get DOS to see this drive?
