retrieve files from old hard drive...

hi guys, i just upgraded my girlfriends computer...ok, i built her a totally new one. she had a cyrix 166 before and was running win95. well she just told me that she had some pictures on there that she wanted. the comp i gave her is running winXP. so i was wondering if i could use winXP's file transfers wizard to get the pictures off. like hook up her old harddrive as a slave to her computer, then try to use the wizard to grab it. possible? or is there a program that i can get that could get it? all i have left is her hard drive. so i don't think hooking it up to another motherboard would work well since win95 basically supports nothing new on my rig or hers. any1 have any ideas? thanks.

Well, couldn't you just hook it up as slave and drag the files to your new drive? I wouldn't think you'd need the wizard at all. I think XP would be able to read the drive.
