I got myself a USB2-IDE adapter cable. I can hook up a bare IDE drive to a USB port and access the drive. I connected an old 8.4GB drive this way. It has a version of Windows installed, but I don't know what it might be.Hi,
What is the best way to determine what version of Windows is installed on a drive, when it is not the drive you are currently running Windows from?
If the file "Windows folder\System32\ntoskrnl.exe" exists, it is a NT
based OS, and not Win9x or WinME.
The to first entries in the version number for ntoskrnl.exe will tell
you what OS it is:
4.0: NT 4.0
5.0: Windows 2000
5.1: Windows XP
5.2: Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP 64-bit version
