	Sure.  Mount the hdd from the non-functioning
	machine as a slave in the functioning machine.
	For this to work, make sure that cards are in
	the same slots, etc. on both machines.  Then,
	from a DOS prompt. use the following:

`format /s d:`
`d:`
`xcopy c:\ /e /v`

	Then put the 2nd drive back in the non-functioning
	machine.  When it boots, it'll probably give you
	some grief about swapfiles and other things.  Just
	point all of the prompts to the correct file locations
	(most of them will be C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\) and let it
	do its thing.  That should get you most of the way
	back up and running.
