Well, it turns out the power plug and the data hd plug on the ribbon are some new fangled configuration on the Vista, so I could not do what I wanted. I ended up installing the drive to another XP machine that I use for DVD authoring. No biggy, just not the machine I now use the most. I recovered the artwork I needed and the music DVD's and CD's have been mailed. I hate getting behind on my orders. I have about 3 other hard drives I need to pull from some old machines and recover some content too.
Thanx for the replies. It's all good now.
