i've got an old computer that got the dreaded blue screen of death (unmountable boot volume), i don't have the orginal windows startup disk and no other computer i have has a floppy for me to download some stuff that i found on different websites that said you could use. my question is could i remove the hard drive and put it in a new computer i have and reinstall the windows disk that i think i have for the new computer and "fix" the old hard drive? or am i just S.O.L? i've got some old stuff on the hard drive that i'd like to have...thanks!
