Hey everyone!
Today in class I asked my teacher a question about my external drive coming in the mail. I told him if i can backup and save other files like music. My teacher said you can only pick one.
Is that true?
I can only pick to back up and can't save music?
I'm new at this external hard drive think, can someone explain what I can really use it for?
Don't want 320G to go to waste.

I think your "teacher" needs to go back to school ... you could back up quite a lot of data to a 320gb drive - regardless of what files they are :)
Give him the link to SevenForums maybe we can help him out a bit
Yeah i will tell him and tell him my friends from the forums told me to tell you to go back to school!ahaha.
I just had to ask windows 7 forums for more info because I know I can save whatever I want, that's why it's called and external drive right.
Be sure to add the external hd music folder to your music library.
Library - Include a Folder
Yep you tell him pal
Here's a online calculator pic that shows you roughly what you can expect to get from only a 80Gb HDD

An external hard drive is a hard drive just like any other. If you can put files on the original drive in your computer, you can also copy them over to the external drive. You can combine all types of files on it...just like you have done on your internal hard drive.
PPARKS1, as I was reading this thread I was thinking exactly what you said. Anything that can be put on an internal drive can be put on an external. I hate to over simplify this discussion, but isn't that what a backup is? Taking what is on your internal and putting it on an external?
My teacher told me he has 1 hard drive and 3 externals..lol.
one is the main one(hard drive), one is for music, one is for backup, one is a 1T that jut backs up the other 2 drives from his music and backup.
I dont know why he has 4 drives
