You can access all of your files in DOS mode, by booting the computer using a bootable floppy disk for Windows ME, downloadable from www.bootdisk.com.

The DOS command DIR will display a directory listing for the current folder. You can use the DOS command COPY to copy your files to another disk (e.g. to a floppy disk in A:).

The following command will do your copying. Let's assume your photos are in "C:\My Documents\Photos" and are all .JPG files, and you want to copy them to a hard disk at D: -

COPY C:\MYDOCU~1\*.JPG D: /V

Adjust the source if the files are elsewhere than in "C:\My Documents". If you wish to copy them to a floppy disk in drive A: then replace the destintion thus -

COPY C:\MYDOCU~1\*.JPG A: /V

If you have more files than there is space for on a floppy, you should be prompted by the program to put a new floppy disk in A: when each one is full.
