Re: transfering data from one hard drive to another....

As long as you don't want to boot to XP, that should work.

However, if you can you still boot up with the XP computer, I think you'd be better off to put your Win2K drive in the XP computer as a slave in order to transfer your data.

Here is a thread with links to complete instructions for reinstalling XP:

(If I remember correctly, I believe it even has tips on backing up)
