Just last month my Dad's PC with Windows XP Home Compaq PC that he runs a small business had a hard drive go bad. The drive was slowy going bad and giving errors.. but he didnt know what to do. Then one day it just stopped... the machine was fried.... Boot sector was bad.. none of the Windows XP recovery tools could save his install
Then I came along and saved the day.. was able to boot to Morphix Linux, mount his drive, ftp all his files for his business checking account to another pc and then save the day.
I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled everything in a few days... Thanks to Morphix He didnt loose anything..

Try using VNC or Micro$oft Remote Desktop.... They even have a Micro$oft remote desktop client for Mac... as long as you have XP on the Dell.
I take it your using a 5 year old SQL server 2000...
