OK - while this is good advice if he has a FAT partition with his data on, 
that's not necessarily the case with a Win2K machine (probably NTFS).

Now there is an NTFS driver, but it's read-only, and I don't think it's 
included with RedHat 9. However, their website is here:
  http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
and they say something about RPMs on the front-page, so that's a possible 
solution.

If you want to read/write data from both Windows and Linux, I'd suggest a FAT 
partition of a couple of gigabytes. Or, of course, another hard-disk (handy 
if you've recently upgraded).
