A method and system for remotely controlling a hard drive on a local computer. A NIC includes a Port Selector under the control of a NIC processor. Access to the hard drive is selectively afforded to either the local computer or to a remote computer by the Port Selector. Preferably, the method and system permit remote access to a local hard drive even if the local computer is disabled, due to causes including, but not limited to, system failure, lost power or corrupted data on the hard drive.
