mezron 0 Posted September 10, 2003 I'd use ghost or something like that. boot off a floppy and ghost your drive to a shared directory on another computer. Jim Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted September 10, 2003 This app has saved my bacon twice now R-Studio Of course it does require that the machine is connected to a LAN but I'm not sure if the OS has to be at the desktop or not to see the drive, I'm thinking it does so the only other solution is to pull the drive and connect it in another machine while trying to recover the data Share this post Link to post
Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted September 10, 2003 ^^^ can see the drive okay - but it B.S.O.D's @ the welcome screen of XP Share this post Link to post
