When I rebooted and left the disk 'on' it only would be recognized.
Then I tried the other way and rebooted, let the startup programs load, and
got a crash.
One other time I got a crash also but I'm going to try it one more time (I
was fearful to do that). and thanks. I will get back to you.

XCopy does not work to image windows, as it does not copy hidden
files. Does the external drive crash your pc once the pc is booted or
do u try to boot the pc w/the drive attached? Please try attaching the
drive only after the pc is booted & your desktop icons appear.
The syntax for the chkdsk command is chkdsk /f /r (that's the forward
slash, i.e. the ? unshifted). Since u appear to be familiar w/at least
some aspects of the command line, u likely know that, but just a
friendly reminder.
If the computer shop won't help, or u just don't trust 'em, contact me off
list.
