Re: New PC with Vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Malke,
by no modifications I meant remove from PC that drive was a boot drive with
WIN XP and not reformat the drive but to install it as a slave as is. NOT A
DUAL BOOT. Just want to read data on the.

Thanks

I don't know what you mean by "without any modifications" but generally
