I appreciate the response but I was trying to save the
info on the drive. I thought maybe the error had
something to do with an XP registration problem since I
had new hardware. I have a brand new hard drive so I'm
thinking of just installing it, re-loading Windows from
scratch and then hook up my old drive as a slave
(temporarily). Do you think that will work and allow me
to retrieve my files? Once I get what I need I'll just
format the old drive and use it for mass storage.
Again, thanks for the info.
