How do you copy data from a computer that will not boot?

Of course, one can take out the hard drive and connect to another computer which uses the same SATA or IDE cable connections.  Or, you can leave everything intact and perform the following: Connect an external hard drive to the computer. Boot off of a Windows XP Live CD. Copy the appropriate data from the old hard drive to the external hard drive. Or if you do not have an external hard drive, you can copy the data using Microsoft Networking from one computer to another computer on the network.  http://www.smartnetadmin.com
