Dell Portable backup drive hard - 2 to
I am trying to use a backup hard drive Portable Dell (2 TB) on my Asus 64 bit laptop running windows 7 Home Premium (SP 1). When I first plugged it in the usb port, he showed that he was downloading drivers. It shows in devices and printers as a portable device, but the manufacturer is unknown. But I do not see the drive in Windows Explorer. I also tried to work through a powered usb hub and it is still not recognized in Windows Explorer. Y at - it ideas?
Hi Adolphsendl,
There are several reasons why an external hard drive may not appear in the Explorer, a conflict of being one of the most common drive letter. The first two places to check if the device is recognized by the operating system are the disk management and Device Manager. In disk management, you can partition the drive and manually assign a drive letter that is not in conflict with existing devices.

I hope I am posting this on the forum,
I want to delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.
I went into computer management console & know that the primary partition - drive C system, boot, pagefile, active lists, dump incident & main partition in brackets but I don't know about the virtual memory paging file. No, there is some data on it. I've been saving the other partition - C drive on an external hard drive.
I know that I have to back up this data but where I should come back to? And why is it called (Primary Partition) when it is used only as a return to the top by car?
I'm only wanting to do because I'm running out of space on my drive C & D drive are the same size! 143 GB & 139.5 GB
I have a laptop of Acer 6930

Hello
D: is not a partition backup of your machine.
Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:
They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)
You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

Time Machine backup drives to 2 Separate hard
I want to have two full backups separately on two different hard drives, and I want to Time Machine for updating each drive separately so I always complete backup two drives. How is that possible?
Simply select one of the readers in Time Machine preferences as a backup drive. Then repeat the process, but select the drive 2nd in Time Machine preferences. You'll get a prompt asking if you want to replace the first hard drive or use both. Click the button for both.

My dell laptop had the hard drive replaced. My son, who knows computers, installed the new hard drive. Then he tried to install my Windows XP Professional software - when it came time to put the product key #, it was not accepted. It's authentic. The product key is: * removed *.
There no mention of this issue in section outages or other information provided in the booklet provided. Can you help me with this problem?
The license key and product type must match (XP Home vs XP Pro;) (and OEM license vs the retail license). If it's a Dell computer and you get the product key from a sticker on the case, then there is likely a version of Windows XP OEM this product key. If you install Windows XP from a retail installation disk, then the types of licenses will not match. You will need to use the license that accompanies the retail installation disc or you will need to contact Dell for an OEM installation disc to go with the license on your sticker case.
HTH,

I recently bought a computer with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I attached an external hard drive to it. I want to keep the clean C drive with only the OS and programs held on this subject. The external hard drive contains files of data and images. I have attached a second external hard drive to the computer. I want to be able to plan a backup from the first disk to the second external drive, but the backup and Recovery wizard seems to allow only a backup of the drive C. is there something that I am missing in the wizard? Or is there something else I can do for my first external backup drive?
Thanks for the help!
Hi rdenn_58,
Thanks for posting your request.
The back up files Wizard, included in Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista professional, Windows Vista business and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, allows you to save your files and data from an external hard drive, CD, DVD, network location and also a secondary hard drive. Although there is no option to schedule a backup to an external drive to a second external drive using the Back Up Files Wizard.
To copy or move files from one external drive to another, you can use the following steps:
You can create a backup of the files on a CD or DVD before you copy or move files.
To copy the files from the first disk to the second external drive, you can use Windows Explorer by going to: start > click computer > double click on the drive letter for the first external drive and then copy the files / folders that you want to back up, and then paste the second external disk drive by opening a second window of the computer. You can also drag and drop files from the first disk to the second external drive using Windows Explorer.
For reference below is a useful link to more information. using the backup center and restoration:

How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive? Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.
Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it. I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.Any ideas?Thank you.Hello
See the steps in the following article on how to manage the music library.

Last year I buy Nero software, and it was installed on my laptop hard drive which has been J:\. Now for some reason, my computer has received a portable K:\ drive on my hard drive. So, when I try to open the program, it gives me drive not valid error 1327 J:\. He also stated that there is insufficient space in J:\, AND it gives me a message "fatal error in installation. Why he did it assign a different drive letter?
I don't know how to change the registry, because I'm sure that WHAT I have uploaded in this device will give me a similar error code when I try to use it. Help!
original title: problems in car
Hello
You must be sure that programs use the drive letter that you define or
you will need to change it back when needed. The latter would be the
more great pain in the long term.Most programs allow you to change the data reader. If the reader is a program
installed on and then after he moved to the drive letter, you will need to re - install the
program.I hope this helps.

Hello
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
Thank you for details on the issue.
You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.
If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.
I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.
