I have a machine running Win2K pro on an IDE ribbon cable. I have a serial Ata drive with WinXP pro that I think is corrupt. I NEED to get some info off of it. Can I introduce the serial drive while the machine is on? Like a USB device?????

    i really, really doubt it. The drive needs to be enumerated by the bios.

    Check your (WIN XP Pro AGAIN???) post. I linked a free recovery program there.
