artatac Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I was keen to use Windows PE as a disaster recovery environment, wher if a clients PC refused to work I could boot off the PE boot disk and then rescue all his files within say My Documents and put them on a USB stick. I tried various online tutorials but nothing seemed to give me this easily, when I had a brainwave!.If you enter the standard windows PE environment and start TWO instances of notepad, then on both open the File > Open dialogues. On the first browse to the USB Stick and on the second browse to (say) user folder and find the "My Documents" folder > now drag the "My Documents" folder and drop it into the USB dialogue browser. You can also use copy and paste.Hope that this helps others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
