system mirror onto non-NTFS format HDD
hi,
I have a new windows 7 64-bit computer and two 4-year old external Western Digital HDDs. They connect fine and transfer data okay except when i try to do a Windows system mirror.
All was well with XP Pro and the same HDDs but Windows 7 tells me the HDDs are not formatted to NTFS.
Firstly, what does this mean as i would really like a system mirror and secondly, is there a way round it withpout formatting the HDDs and losing all the data?
I'm not an expert so please keep replies simple!
cheers
Andy
