I have 2 IBM 600's. One of the operating systems is giving some serious problems, like not recognizing any Microsoft Office Programs( and the installation CD for this is not being recognized on the faulty O/S) Is there a way to connect the two computers and transfer the folders, files, etc to the good O/S before I do a clean install?

Physically you will need one Network Interface Card installed in each computer and one Ethernet Cross Over Cable to connect the two. Then you will have to set up the network settings so that both computers are in the same workgroup and then you'll probably have to set up your users & permissions to allow the Computer Names to access resources. Which OS are you using?

Of course another way to do this is to physically removed one HD and put it in the other computer.......Then you can just drag and drop all of the files from one to the other.
A gotcha here is to make sure that one is set to Master and the other to slave. The HD that is being booted from needs to be the master, the other needs to be the slave.
