Certain utilities (such as Windows Live One Care) may not copy, move or back
up executables and/or system files.
When did you move "all of this software" to the external drive? Was it while
you were still using XP or after you had already switched to Vista?
What application, utility, program or method did you use to get the data
onto the external drive?
After you moved the data, did you verify that *all* of it made it safely
over to the external drive?
