Yes, but why don't you just pull her hard drive and slave it into another computer? It will be a lot faster.

GLC, what if the drive has a OS on it like it has (Win98 se) and you pop it into say...an XP box as a slaved drive. Now how do you mount Win98SE? Am I totally missing a technique here?

Why do you want to mount 98SE? The drive will come up as a drive letter in XP, and you can use Windows Explorer or whatever to access the files, copy them, whatever, just like any other hard drive. XP can read FAT32 just fine. I'm assuming this is what you want to do - back up her files so you can wipe the drive and reinstall Windows?

[. . . and just a little side note: if you do decide to restore the files after a reformat, scan the backups with antivirus/antispyware first . . . ]
