Greetings all...new here with a question or two; 1)...WIN XP, dell desktop, 1tb sata hd, plenty of ram, 3.2ghz processor. 2)...Lost or deleted single and only partition on 1 tb hd. 3)...I want to attempt to pull data (recover data or restore single partition) but, want to back up the drive to a 4tb ext hd. before I attempt it. 5)....Yes, i know XP has a 2tb limit which leads to the next question - Will this program back up to that EMPTY DRIVE and use whatever space it needs? 6)...I need to know if this program can be downloaded to a flash drive and bootable? 7)...My desire is to place boot-able usb into computer, have it recognize defective drive and ext hd, be able to copy defective to ext hard drive. Thanks for any assistance!

    I'm sorry but what's the point of backing up an empty drive?

    Greetings- 01-17-2k24 It has been a while.....Starting "fresh" here; 1)...I have a laptop with Win 10 on it, 64bit.... 2)...I made a full CLONE of the hard drive last month with no issues... 3)...I need to wipe the SSHD completely out.. 4)...Can-should I use "A" to over-write the internal drive (laptop) as there are multiple partitions? 5)..."IF" the drive were already wiped or, a brand new drive, would not "A" have to be on that drive from the start to access the computer and ext hard drive?
