Smith Corona Utility Disk

06/24/2009 2:08 PM

Hi

I have a utilities disk which I have often used to download files from my old SMith Corona 3500? WP to windows computers.

The title is not as you all describe being called SCONVERT.

My problem is that all worked well both on my original windows 98 Dell and when I upgraded to millenium but now that I have further upgraded to XP, although I can download the SCONVERT file converter system, when I try to convert smith pwp files it says they don't exist????

I also think that perhaps the converter worked on XP until I cleared the hard drive because the machine had gone insane (works ok now) and I wondered if my original installation by a shop had been in FAT32 (now running NTFS) and if this might be the reason?

Phil

Its possible. If you have good partition software, you can often reformat on the fly.....back to FAT32.....

Backup all important data first just to be safe.....

Tell XP to treat it like it was Win98.....
