Auto repair fails and copy big files to usb problem

Hi
Finally it seams that vista 64 ultimate are unable to reboot, restore
run in safemode or repair. So probably I have to reinstall Vista.
The symptoms that lead to that vista couldn't reboot was that i
freezed. It has freezed 2 times. Each time I enable the total blac
screen saver that is shipped with windows.
But it can't be that could it? The second time when I tried auto repai
it failed with messages like
StartupRepairV
External medi
BadDrive
CorruptVolyme
Currently I'm using SeaTools for DOS at 'www.seagate.com
(http://www.seagate.com) to see if there is any Hard Drive problem
Short test passed and I'm doing long test right now
I don't beleive there is any problem with the HD because the compute
is only a few month old from factory
I'm using SAMSUNG HM251JJ
Questions
1. Is there a third party NTFS repair tool I could try
2. Is there any other tool I could try
3. If I choose to restore from an old vista backup will that remove m
important files
4. How can I reinstall vista but keeping my old files
5. Is there anything else I could do
At the end of the repair phase I can access the console. When insertin
an USB drive and a PenDrive it automatically recognise it. Very nifty
I'm using an USB-Drive for backup
I have a large virtual pc file. About 20-30 gig. I tried to use XCOP
to copy all files but it seam to hang when moving the large 20-30 gi
file. I waited several hours until I aborted
I'm unable to run any dos xcopy version with progress indicator. Trie
2 dos based and 1 window based. None of them was compatible. I need thi
to figure out if it hangs or not
Questions
3. Does anybody know where I can find any progress indicator supporte
console compatible xcopy application
4. How long does it take to copy 25 gig over USB 1
5. How can I connect through network. I tried like. net use z
'\\192.168.0.X\Shared' (file://\\192.168.0.X\Shared). Vista consol
can't connect. But it seams that I can send report to Microsoft (n
error when sent
6. How can I see the real file size. I noticed that it show the ful
size even if I copy a small part of the large 20-30 gig file

Assuming you have tried System Restore and your drive has no problems,
reinstalling is probably your best bet. Restoring the backup will remove
your files. You need to copy them off to another partition or preferably
drive. Use the command prompt on the install DVD for Vista.

This is sad news for me. I really wish there where another way

I'm still having problem moving the large files. I have tried hiren
boot cd with ghost over network. This one worked when I made a ghos
image of the original install from factory. Now I can access the networ
but for some reason hirens boot forgot to add option to access ntfs.
know this works if you use file explorer options but from there yo
can't access network
