Retrieving data from an inactive Registry

[Chuck Lavin]

Hi -

I recently reinstalled Windows XP clean on a PC, but I did it on a new hard
drive.

I have the PC's original hard drive, with information in its Registry files
that I need to retrieve.

How can I export data from these Registry files?

Thanks
CL
