DOS Woes

Ok, hopefully someone can help me out here. I have a client, running in a
dos based environment with novel. The systems are packard bell 486 25 Mhz.
And, they are a CAD design firm, sad.

Ok, here is the deal, the server doesn't back-up anymore, and they have tons
of money on the file server, which they cant loose. How do I move this data
off the network so I can transfer it into a new XP environment? I threw a
hard drive into a workstation, and the smallest I could get was a 40 gb, it
recognized it as a 260 Mb drive, and I copied the data over, when I plugged
it into my XP machine, it didn't recognize a partition or anything. I am
attempting to do a recovery on the drive, but so far it's not going to well.

Anyone have any suggestions? CD-Burning isn't an option, at least not with a
system from '93, and I cant connect into the network with my XP machine or a
mac, even tried the novel clients. So, Ideas?
