Cannot access new Seagate external HD by Terry Pinnell[_4_]
I already have a couple of external HDs on this XP Pro PC: a WD 1 TB and a WD 2 TB. I've just added another, a Seagate 'Expansion' 2 TB 3.5" desktop HD (£60). It arrived impressively fast from Amazon. But I reckon it's going to have to go back just as quickly, because it doesn't work ;-( As you...

I'm running XPProSP3 and I have a Thermaltake BlacX dual dock with 2 bare internal-type drives in it, that connects to the computer with USB, and I use each for an almost** complete backup it seemed like a good idea. If my internal drive fails, I just take one of the backups out of the dock and...

brand new drive clicks very lightly by micky
What does it mean when an almost new HDD clicks very quietly? On startup a few times, and very rarely when it's not startup, I can hear it, but barely. I have a bare drive in a BlacX dock. I just bought it a month ago, though I've run it 24/7 for that month.

BAckup harddrive, how many partitions by micky
I don't save videos or anything really big (I only hae 100Gig of files now) so when I ended up with a 1.5T harddrive for a backup drive, I thought I'd put both internal HD's on the same external backup. Plenty of space. I also put my laptop and the laptop of a friend's, (that I was fiddling with...

Making two partition copies in turn by micky
I'm maintaining two (maybe even 3) copies of my C: drive. I've been copying everything from C to F and to H, but I'm thinking, maybe it would be better to copy C to F and then F to H. It would lessen the wear on the C drive, especially when I copy every single file (except the ones I don't...

I was using a 2009-vintage Nehalem PC, and suddenly the hard drive starts whacking itself to death. You could hear it 3 rooms away. I shut down and opened the case. Drive was a Maxtor 160 GB, so it was probably a fews years old when put in that PC, that would have been a premium PC at the...
