isn't an external drive just another drive. Why can't you do thing with it just like an internal one (except maybe putting an OS there).
Hi,
I hope you can help. I am trying to help out a friend with XP. He has 2 external hard drives on is a 500 GB Western Digital the other is a 1.5 GB Solo External Hard Drive Fireproof and Waterproof...yeh a little over kill!
His computer is about 8 year old Dell...it even has a floppy drive. He saves everything! His hard drive has almost no free space. What I would love to do is set up his computer to save all his files directly to the 500 GB hard drive. Not on his computers hard drive!
I was going to partition the 1.5 GB hard drive so there is a complete back up of his computer hard drive on the first partiion. Also, I would love to sync his 1.5 GB second partition to his 500 GB hard drive (which is actually saving all his files?
Do you have any suggestions?
I have figured out how to assign dirve letters. I know how to partition. I don't know how to sync one hard drive to the other or automatically save files directly to the 500GB.
Note: I have backed up his hard drive right now to the 500GB. Using windows back up. He deleted the WD software of the 500GB!
Thanks for your time...ynotbme
