advice on Old Backups

Nick Thompson

Dear Friammers,

 

Anybody with experience recovering to a Win7 machine files saved in .bkf format from an WinXT machine to a peripheral HD  a decade or so ago?  The Win7 machine recognizes the HD just fine, but not the backup files. I looked around on the web for a bit but nothing jumped out.  I am always uncertain about how much to trust utilities downloaded off the web, particularly if free.
