ok, a hard one this:
my friend has an old hard drive that he wants to get the data from - the problem is that it was doublespaced.
if he plugs it in, winxp recognises the drive but none of the data on it - he can see the dblspace.ini file but not the main file (dblspace.000 ?), so he can't see the data.
he tried booting to the drive itself and using dos to un-doublespace but it crashes when he tries to do run any programs - maybe because the old drive can't handle the new hardware its on?

so we are a bit stuck - is there a doublespace reader around?

cheers
