Hi
Is this a ata or sata interface hard disk ?
Does PC bios see hard disk .?
If not no point in continuing.
Windows is not going to see a Linux / Unix format hard disk or partition
Without special drivers (some free some pay for)
Booting from a Linux live CD or USB will let you see &clone the hard disk
Parted Magic now costs $5.00 and is worth it. There are plenty of alternatives

what brand is the HDD both SG and WD have Disk managers that you can download which can get the job done for you simple and self explainable
the linux is a WD 100 SATA drive.....my pc does not see it as a slave ..... my thoughts were to hook it up as a slave and burn image disks from it but that was shot down quick when it didnt see it..... how do I work around this and get this done???
thanks
