    Remove his hard drive and take it home, put it on your pc as a slave, copy the files he wants to cd, take it back to his house and put it in his pc, insert xp disc and install, sorted.

    Who is OP?, and I want this as simple as possible. I dont know if I want to do the whole hard drive thing because I dont want to screw anything up, ive never done that before. I just thought it would be easier to do it chewie's way... Jeez.

Could I *get* my own copy of ME and do this cd boot thing to backup his files?



    Ok listen back away from his computer "slowly" and remind your friend your just trying to help ! Windows ME is anought of a problem but Macfee antivirus too ?

    Your screwed ! But have been in your shoes too , If all else fails try updating with XP pro . Good luck tho you trying too hard .
