Have you tried VMware? I use it all the time on my XP box, for test purposes. :) I installed a FreeBSD 4.7R OS on a VMware box, inside XP, that I can communicate with in all the normal ways, like FTP. VMware will easily allow you to add a physical drive to the configuration. So, set up something like FTP within your VMware box, and take the data right off the mounted drive within the VMware box. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
