I've got a Dell Windows ME computer that's fucked, but I'm 99% sure it's not a virus. Since I have stuff I need on it I'm going to try taking out the hard drive, put it in a hard-drive enclosure w/USB, and run it to my Windows XP laptop. Has anybody here done this?

yeah putting it an a 2.5" usb enclosure would do the trick. or if youve got a working desktop computer u could open the case up and see if theres an available IDE cable for hard drive and just hook it to that to transfer it over

Thanks! I think I'll go with a new 2.5" usb enclosure, because I only have a laptop working right now, but I'll keep your other information handy.

...and if you purchased your computer from one of the mega-companies, use the restore disk. If not....stick in the Win CD and boot from CD. Enjoy the fresh install.
