I plan to scan my slides and my 35ml color and b&w negative films to archive them digitally. Can I reverse the images from color and b&w negatives in PhotoShop CS2 to get positive images or prints?

Ctrl+I will invert the B&W negatives.

Color negatives need each channel adjusted after inverting. Use a levels adjustment for each color channel. Drag the highlight and shadow sliders to just touch the edges of histogram. This should get you close.
