        The other thing that I'm still concerned about is getting to this one directory.  In the recovery console it shows up as the previously mentioned 'BEHAVE!!! =>'.

        I no longer know what the actual name of the directory is.  Maybe the DOS-like display of the recovery console is putting in those = and > characters because the directory name is too long.  I don't know.

        As far as KNOPPIX goes, I wonder if I could download that onto a 1 GB flashdrive on my XP, and then set up the Vista to boot from a removable device?

          I don't know what this (partial) sentence means...

          MOVE is not an internal DOS command.

          yes it is...but your not using Command Prompt, your using recovery console....which is my bad...

                I appreciate all the input, and I have used COPY to copy the pictures from the hard drive to the flash drive.  And it seems to work just fine - I just can't use wildcards, which is workable - it just makes the process take longer.

                And I HAVE copied all the individual pictures we want to the flash drive.  EXCEPT for the items on the directory that displays in the recovery console as "BEHAVE!!! =>"

                At this point I need a way to access this directory from the recovery console.

                  No, you can't use the * wildcard. You can use the ? one I think. (I'm not sure about that)
