Yes, it should if it is formatted as FAT32. If it is NTFS, you might
have to use a free 3rd party piece of software or a Live Linux CD with
NTFS support of some sorts to get it off. OR, you can always plug it
into a working XP/Vista computer and get things that way.

What exactly is "the boot disk the backup program"?
