I am in DOS mode. My windows needs completely recovered and I am trying to back up my files before I do the Destructive system recovery. I have another hard drive on this same computer, but I don't know how to back up the files to that drive.

Ok, so you are in a DOS prompt?

Or are you just asking to transfer files from your C:/ drive?

If you can only get to a dos prompt, you can transfer files to another hard drive but usually not to a flash drive.

I would have to know how you are getting to this prompt? is it through a win98 boot disk? an XP recovery console?
