When connecting a USB 2.0 hard drive to a running win2k sp3 computer - does any
code on the hard drive get executed normally?

I am guessing that if I'm not trying to boot from the hard drive - I don't have
to worry even if the drive were to become infected - but wanted to confirm.
 
I doubt it, but I hope you're running good antivirus software and keeping it
updated regularly....
