Re: [PLUG] File Recovery using Linux
|
Actually, now that I think about it... and in case
this wasn't already mentioned... the easy thing to do
would be a parallel install of Win2k on either a
different harddrive or a different partition on the
same computer. That way the new os will mount your old
partition as an ordinary file system. Alternatively
you can just take out the harddrive of the system with
teh lost password and stick slave it off another win2k
box and likewise see it as an ordinary parition. I had
to do that once to revover files off of a lost
server... Just my $0.02
