It doesn't matter Paul about what the software is mate.
These are backups by the look of it.

Re: Problem With My External Hard Drive
Just dump the Program Files folder Paul, if you want a truly clean external drive then simply format it but bear in mind all your stuff will be gone from it.

Re: Problem With My External Hard Drive
ok just backing up important stuff to DVD/RW's. Using Nero BackItUp Essentials, hope its the right sort of program to use, soon find out LOL
So, back to my original post right at the top about external drive malfunctioning and not being recognised yesterday.... any idea why that happened and then today it was fine? |

Re: Problem With My External Hard Drive
Always leave the drive plugged in and let it shut down when you turn the lappy off.
