Well today I'm feeling very pleased, some of you may remember the trouble I was having with an external drive.
Well that one was dead, even though it had been used up until hubby got his Windows 7 machine and had XP installed and all his stuff.
Anyhow I bought a new enclosure and our good friend micky megabyte sent me an old drive he had and even though the drive could be seen there was no way I could Initialise it so that I could use it. Tried several avenues, which I won't go into but today just for fun I took the drive out of the enclosure and put the XP drive in, well it might have worked it didn't, so put the one Angelo had sent me back in and lo and behold it worked
While I had it showing I put some photo's into it then did a backup using the built in Windows 7 backup, so today I'm a very happy person and once again thank you Angelo for the drive.
my pleasure Joan - i'm real pleased that you got it working in the end!
very interesting to hear a forum member's voice on the phone too!
