Accessing a Win2K partition on second HD after Win2K install...

[jalevy]

Thanks in advance all...
I have just done a clean install of Win2K on an onld machine with a new
drive. The old drive has a winXP install on it and I need to get my
files off of that partition/drive before formatting the drive. In My
Computer, it shows 874 MB used on the old 8 GIG drive, most of which is
picture/documents that I need to get to. If you know anyway of
accessing a WinXP partition please let me know - and again, thanks.

Yo, Jason,
[What I would do:] Open the case, temporarily-disconnect anything on
the secondary IDE cable, temporarily-install the old/XP drive and hook
it to the free cable, power up and copy your files.
What do you think?
