Ah! Now, that I can do. My Vantec external dock will read 3.5 or 2.5 disks (I don't know if the computer is a laptop). Chances are the files she wants to read will be common, .xls or .doc and I'll be able to read them.

Edit: Nice idea while it lasted. My external dock is for SATA drives, and the computer is an ancient Dell with two 80-GB IDE drives. I guess I better try the admin password cracker stuff... which will be a neat trick because my CD burner will no longer burn CDs, only DVDs, and this computer has only a gigantic (6" x 8") CD player/burner.
