Hello there.
I've had some trouble with my HP Pavilion home computer, which is running Vista.
I couldn't get the computer to boot up, so some folks over in the malware area suggested I TRY Reatogo-X-PE. I've been able to boot up USING the Reatogo-X-PE and I am able to SEE the DATA I need to pull off the old PC.
I also have an external hard disk ("My Passport") attached to the old PC via a USB port in the front of the machine. I need to back up my very important data by pulling it off the old PC's internal hard disk and put it onto the external hard disk. The problem is that I can't see the external hard disk via lookng at "My Computer." I can, however, see the external hard disk by going to Control PANEL > Administrative Tools > Disk Management.

Can anyone help me to move files from my internal hard disk to my external hard disk?I managed to get this taken care of by running Ubuntu and using that to move the data. Thanks anyway. Sounds like the external hard drive needs to be initiated or partitioned. If you never used it before, that's probably the case.
