Gparted - external hdd - file transfer

[opethdisciple]

I am trying to recover some files on a busted vista hdd.

I have booted up gparted as my live disk and I can see the files in the filemanager.

I have plugged in an external hdd and can see the drive in gparted.

How do i transfer files from the hdd to the external drive using gparted?

I'm gona give lubuntu a shot.

I usually use ubuntu and it works 9/10 times. But I have found one machine where the ubuntu scroll bar just well carries on scrolling and never gets any further.

Thanks

I'm trying to help a freind with a busted hdd. He keeps getting blue screen when at the login menu.

Windows reports the drive as 'dirty'.

Running chckdisk doesnt help.

Funny thing is live linux disc do not work either.

Ubuntu just never loads and lubuntu comes up with a bunch of missing libaries...

Put both disks in to a working laptop and they both run fine!
