Hard drive backup...with a twist

My laptop (running Vista x64) suffered a fairly violent fall today and stalls after the BIOS POST with a black screen of death. Startup Repair says that the OS cannot be fixed automatically due to a corrupt registry. So is there any program that can copy the entire hard disk to an external USB one from where I can then pick what I need and delete the rest. From what I understand, Clonezilla can create an image, but the files within that image can't be selectively picked and copied. Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks lxskllr. Fortunately, the hard drive still works. Using Startup Repair, I was able to get to the command prompt and transfer a few files to a USB drive, but it is really tedious.

Is there a DOS command that can copy an entire directory along with all sub-directories and files?
