Go buy a cheap internal HDD and put it in the PC and install the Xp to it. then put your old HDD in as a slave and you should be able to get your data back.

Yep - I can take a look at it Scott but I'm booked until after MSBA. That probably has a PATA drive in it and you can find one on sale 80-120GB for less than $70 somewhere. Put the new drive in, set the BIOS to boot off CD, run the XP install, put your 2K, Win9x CD in when it is asked for, finish the install, plug your old hard drive into the CD rom cable (should work assuming seperate IDE channels in use - though some PC manufacutres saved the 50 cents here). Copy the data files over to a centralized location and redistrubute out from there...
