Copying Hard Drive Information

[Mike]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

My windows XP system crashed and burned. I've checked out all my hardware
and found no faults. I've got XP on another computer that was connected to
the first via a network system. I can not get windows to boot up on my first
system. What I would like to know is how to salvage some of the programs and
information from my first system before I reformat it. I've decided, after
trying everything else, that formatting the drive and starting fresh is the
only way to fix the problems I'm having. I need to know if it's possible to
transfer information from the drive I can't boot up to my operating system?
If so how?

Much Obliged Mike

You can install the drive as a slave on the other system and
copy files. You'll probably need to "take ownership" of the
files and folder on the drive to do so.

You cannot recover apps, only data
