I recently swapped out a Gateway Essential desktop with a celeron processor that was running Win 98se, with an 80 gig HD, partitioned into 2 x 40 gig segments, due to a fatal event of unknown cause. I built a new machine, P4, running XP Pro, with an Intel 865 perl MB, and a 120 gig HD to replace it. My question is what steps should I follow to safely retrieve the stored pictures, documents, and information from the crashed HD to my new PC. As I mentioned, the event that took down the older machine came swiftly and its cause is yet unknown or to what level the hard drive might be corrupted or infected. There was a spyware problem I was trying to tackle prior to the event, with pop-ups occuring without an internet connection. I have tried to revive the machine with no success, so I'm left at this point to just take what I am able. Any help will be apprieciated.
