User's o/s (Win2000) has gone corrupt. We need to backup the data, format the drive, and reinstall. Problem is he has 2 SCSI drives. The o/s networking functions are all corrupt, and we are unable to copy data to the second drive (or anywhere else for that matter). Normally for an IDE drive, I'd install it as a slave in another system and backup the data. But when I install a SCSI controller in my other system, the bios no longer sees the IDE drive, and wants to boot from the SCSI, which won't help me. Is there any other way to backup the data on this scsi drive? I tried vooting with Bart PE, but it doesn't see the SCSI drives at all.

Wolluf, thanks for the response. I took out the scsi controller I was using, and used the one from the system I'm working on, and even though it didn't show IDE drives in the bios, it did boot to the IDE drive, so I was able to backup the data. Thanks again.
