Alternatively you could download and boot to an Ubuntu LiveCD (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu). You'll have a full GUI environment with network capabilities so you can copy the files from the W2K machine to a server. Much easier than opening up two machines. Minor Linux experience/knowledge would be helpful but I do not believe it would be necessary. - P --- Peter Cole Information Technologist Michigan State University Press 517-355-9543 x124 -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cheryl A Akers Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 6:54 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Win 2000 HD as second disk for XP system Hi all, I have a windows 2000 hard disk which won't boot. I can see the files, so it's not completely trashed. I would like to install this disk as a second disk on a Win XP computer to recover the data files (that weren't backed up - ARRRRGGGGHHHH) My question is, will the XP system read the files from the 2000 disk.
