Hi
My mates PC has died ("CPU he thinks") and he'd like to put his maxtor HDD with XP O/S on it, into another PC so he can retrieve his data. Is this possible?...If not how can he go about retrieving his data from his original HDD without the intervention of a recovery specialist? TIA -- Regards p.mc

HDD into another machine
Connect it to another sys as slave, or put it in an external enclosure
You may have to take ownership of folders, to recover data "p.mc" wrote in message ...

Options: - Install the drive into the other machine as a secondary - access the data you want. - Install the drive in another machine as a primary, do not boot but instead perform a REPAIR INSTALLATION of XP (google for it) and then boot and use as normal. NOTE: If the XP was an OEM - you are breaking an agreement agreed to with the use of the system on the original computer. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
