My WD 500GB drive stopped working. I bought a new 1TB drive to replace it. I hope to salvage the old drive data with a drive copy function.

I created a DOS boot CD using WD Lifeguard. I can't get the lifeguard DOS software to work because my mouse doesn't show up in DOS and the software is from 2005?!?

Is there some other bootable CD software I can use to format and drive copy these WD drives?
 
Make sure legacy support for usb devices is enabled in the bios. If you still have an AT style mouse laying around try that instead of (asuming) your USB mouse.

Legacy support for USB is enabled but not accomplishing anything for my USB mouse, even if I attach it to a PS2 block.


I found a copy of Partition Magic 8 that at least has a usable interface with a 1TB drive.Hopefully I can manage using it with keyboard shortcuts.
