My desktop died after entering all my data and I had to load turbo tax to my lap top

I had entered all of my information and was to begin checking my return when my desktop computer wouldn't turn on. I've been told its the hard drive. I did have all my data backed up but now it is telling me I have it running someplace else with code 7001 I believe. Everything is on an external drive but it won't allow the drive to pull the information in. I had to reinstall turbo tax into my laptop and it would be so so difficult to start all over again since everything is already on the external drive.
