Request for assistance, somewhat off topic

[Mark Glassberg]

I got a Win98 (not 2d Ed) laptop from my brother.  Before installing linux,
I decided to try to save what was on it--just in case.  I booted a floppy
based rescue system, mounted hda1 and made a tar file of it (to another
partition).  Before going ahead, I decided to check to make sure the tar
file can restore the original.

I almost, but not quite, succeeded.  The Win98 was on a fat16 partition.
The restored filesystem has 8-character dos-type filenames.  I did not
make a recursive list of the original file names.

Does Win98 store those names anywhere on the filesystem?  If so, can I
recover them?  If so, how?

Thanks in advance.
