So my windows 2000 OS just went poop,
I've tried the fix features with the rescue disk and all.
I've also tried to reinstall just the os (so i don't lose my stuff) but it goes to the "loading bar" screen where w2k loads, and it goes something like "file is missing C:/winnt/system32..."
I am wondering, is there some way for me to hook up that hard drive to another computer which is working perfectly?
i mean i was wondering how the system would know to boot off my good hd with good OS instead of the bad one?
how could i go about this?
Thanks
 
You can't boot of this drive unless you fix Windows. If you connect it as a spare on another system it will boot - as normal - off THAT systems drive not your drive. You can then copy your data files from your drive.
