23852 2001-11-07 13:50:00 I have installed a friend's hard-drive as a slave into my system in order to transfer some large files. However, his hard-drive has two partitions: Win98 on one side, and Win2k on the other. The files that I want are on the Win2k side, but I only seem to be able to access the Win98 side. How do I access the Win2k side? Guest (0)
23853 2001-11-07 20:01:00 You'll either need to boot from Win2k (I don't know how to do this, as I don't use Win2k)

or you could try putting it back into his system and copying the files into his Win98 partition first.

I use it in my dual-booting Win2k/WinME system, invaluable for data recovery!
