On my PC when I put in a startup disk and I select the startup method (with or without cdrom support) I get to access the hard disks... A friend of mine tried it (even with the same disk) but couldn't see the hard disk :confused: Any ideas?

Hard-disks could be broken, or they could be using NTFS.
What operating system is the machine running?
On the start-up disk, try running fdisk.exe, and see if you can view the hard-disks there.
If you cannot, then open up the computer. See if the hard-disks are attached. Reboot and check if they're recognized during the system post/startup...
Turns out it is NTFS... I got a program (NTFSDOS) that solved the problem ;) Thanks :afrog:
Another option, which is far far easier, is to just take the hard-disk out, and fit it to a computer running Windows 2k or XP :)
That depends on how you define easier :thumb:
