I have a Windows 2003 machine and a Windows 2000 machine. I connected
the two with a file-transfer cable -- female connectors on both ends.
There is hyperterminal installed on Windows 2003 machine. When I run
the hyperterminal on Windows 2003, the status bar shows that the COM1
port is connected. I've also set the ASCII settings to echo. However,
no response from the Win2k machine. Basically, the Win2k is not
booting because the C: drive is full. I want to delete some files on
the C: drive on Win2k and make it boot.

Can someone please help troubleshoot this problem?
