Hi Experts,
I have a laptop but the hdd is faulty.
In windows after some minutes the whole system freezes.
Now I want to backup all data to a usb disk.
In dos mode I can read the data from the hdd but which tool can copy data from hdd to usb in dos mode ?

can I use robocopy also in dos mode or secure mode ?
What if you take the HDD out and use a usb caddy and connect it to another pc - can you see the files?

If the laptop drive is SATA you can simply pull it out, connect it to a desktop PC that uses SATA and copy the data from your laptop HD to the USB drive plugged into the PC.
I do this all of the time. Easy as pie. That is if you have an extra PC.

yes -IF you have a desktop, and IF the drive is sata
the Knoppix solution requires nothing

That's why I said "IF".
The Knoppix solution requires burning a CD/DVD "IF" you have a blank one.
It's simply another option.

Robocopy will allow you to filter out files and even transfers NTFS permissions should you so desire.
You can download it in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit. http://www.microsoft.com/e
