I am trying to access files from a Hard drive that will not boot up due to some problem in the drive I believe. I am using another drive as the master and want to try to use the damaged drive as a slave to move the files from the damaged drive. So far I cannot get the other drive to start up. I have removed the clip to make the original drive a slave. I have XP recovery disks that came with the computer. Maybe the problem is more than the drive.
