Transferring files from virus-ridden HDD
So I've never actually had a virus that completely prevented me from fixing, so I'm new to this.
I have 2 PCs. One is my work PC which has XP Media edition and the other is my Home PC which has Win7 Pro. Home PC uses a SATA drive and the work PC uses IDE. First off, before I attempt anything, is it safe for me to hook up my Home HDD to my work PC and it not only boot the IDE drive, but prevent transfer of the virus to my work PC? Also, if I am looking to transfer my stuff to my work PC, what if both drives have the same drive letter? (e.g. C:\) I don't think SATA uses master/slave, but I'm not sure about the compatibility of the old IDE drive. Finally, I have a separate external drive, one that has no OS installed used as a backup for my files, but since I cannot boot Windows on my Home PC, I don't know of any other way to get those files transferred to it. Any advice? |
