<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Greetings,<br>
<br>
For about a year one of my boxes was set up as a dual boot with Ubuntu
6.10 and Win2K. About a week ago the power supply died and it
took the motherboard with it. After replacing the motherboard and
power supply I had Win2K booting, but I had warnings about drivers
being missing. I started adding drivers and in typical M$ fashion
the box now gives me a blue screen of death with a statement that I
don't yet have all my drivers installed. Blue screen means I
can't install drivers so I am stuck.<br>
<br>
I had all my really important files backed up, but there are files on
the drive I would like to recover. Other than recovering these
files I would love to wipe the drive clean and set it up with Ubuntu
7.x and a clean install of Win2K. Can I move the drive to another
Ubuntu box and mount the NTFS and EXT3 partitions? It sounds
possible, but I hate to try it without knowing that it will work and
getting some advice on how to do it. I don't want to boot from
this drive, just recover files from it. I believe the drive is
still good since the Ubuntu boots (no GUI yet due to new motherboard
and different video chips) and the Win2K booted several times.<br>
<br>
Will this work? Any advice? What would be common mistakes when doing this and how can I avoid them?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Bruce<br>
