HDD-related question

[Captain]

Well when I built the new PC a couple days ago, I retired the 80GB HDD that still has Windows and program files on it. However, I just realized that there were a couple important things still on there: my Firefox bookmarks/settings and some documents. What's the best way I could fish those out?

I've got another PC sitting around with a 160GB IDE HDD. Would it be feasible to replace it with the 80GB just long enough to get the files out with a USB stick?

New PC's performing extremely well btw.

Just go in your BIOS and make sure you have the boot order clear, put the 80 on something that won't boot first, and start up normally. Blamo.

you were supposed to update us last saturday

Just hook up the 80GB drive as a slave and copy what you want over.

Saturday is when I say it is.

Danke Creepo, I shall try that. First thing I did after the reformat (and SP2, drivers, etc.) was flash the BIOS to the latest file (BFG P05)

Hooked up the IDE, set it as IDE Slave, and everything loaded up fine. Got my files safe and easy

Thanks for the help.
