Thanks to all who chimed in.
All helpful responses.

I  went with the quickest way which was a $7 adapter to slave the drive 
then use LinNeighborhood to send to a local $erver on Knoppix.

Currently I'm writing a quick PHP app to help me manage our new M$ 
licenses (we have developers).

<rant>

You know, what really get's me mad about this is that M$ requires us to 
keep up with all these product keys, licenses, and activations but they 
don't have a way for us to keep up with said items.

We have customers that are on the M$ platform and we have no control 
over that.  That requires us to keep up with them for compatibility.

We get 10 licenses for M$ Office 2003.  We get 5 PK's for 2 activations 
each.  It grows from there.  I think I have 40 PK's each with a 
different number of activiations each that I need to keep track of and 
on which machine it's installed on.  Like I don't have enough to do.

MS lost me years ago as a personal customer.  They've done it as a 
professional customer now.
