I have an older cable system that requires DOS to run in a Windows 98 system. I also have XP on the same computer - hence the Partition Magic - and there is no internet for e-mailing files back and forth (a little foreshadowing), the CNC and work computer lives in the garage. I do all of my design work in my house on my main computer.

There is a specific spot on the 98 side where the cut files reside and I can see them while in Parts Wizard or in WinExplorer while on the 98 side.

When I re-start and go over to the XP I can not find those files. I have done a file search. I have done the 'show all hidden files' trick on both OS sides while in WinExplorer. Nothing !!

Therefore, the only way to get files ON to the 98 side is via burning a CD (it won't recognize my USB stick in 98). When I am on the XP side, my USB stick works, but I can not find where the cut files are. Therefore, I also can't take files off to edit them.

Why are the files hiding from me ? Where are they ?
