It is quite easy. Just make a Live Linux USB stick (I prefer the Mint 32 bit) using the free tool UNetbootin. The stick automatically makes itself after you choose Mint (it downloads the image, etc.), then simply boot the laptop from the USB stick and click on your drive to mount it, you can then move the data to any other drive that you attach and click on (mount).

The Mint build runs only from the USB and does not write anything to your SSD.

I will do that and let you know! Just letting you know that the system i want to do that with is 64 bit!

Many thanks.

Doesn't matter 32 or 64 for the Mint stick.

I have tried Lili live USB creator. Works great with 32bit versions of Ubuntu. Perfect for simple backup.
