[QUOTE="elphabapotter, post: 1096117, member: 168573"] Hi all, New to the forums here and have been searching for the last hour for the answer to an issue I'm having with my new MBP. I have an old (and by "old" I mean 7 years - yikes!) desktop HP running Windows XP. Unsurprisingly, it recently crashed. What I'm trying to do (and being very unsuccessful at googling the answer for) is connect the desktop via firewire to my macbook and launching the XP into something similar to target disk mode. (so my mbp can read the drive as an external drive that I can use Disk Warrior on) Any suggestions or help? Is this even possible? If not, would it work to buy an external enclosure for the drive and just hook it up as such? Thanks in advance for all your help. EP Some notes: I used to be a hardcore PC person back in the day but now probably couldn't even figure out how to change the screensaver on windows anymore since I got my first mac several years ago (and my computing life UTTERLY changed for the better). So please bare with me if I don't understand Windowsy-things. [/QUOTE]
