I did a proggy that read it byte/byte of the hard disk then just send it down the line as if it where extended asci text.

You can use the On_Comm events to detect is the any incoming data from the connected PC.

Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
Select Case MSComm1.CommEvent
Case comEvReceive
    'Put you code here.
End Select
End Sub

Properly you need to put some message header to identified between the normal data and the file's content before you really open a blank file to store the received data.
