maxtor one touch III mini backup log

Jan 30, 2007 3:51AM PST

My device is set to backup automatically each day, but after doing so it comes up with a message that the backup failed? How do I find out what happened? Where do I find the log of the first backup which did not fail?

Maxtor III Mini
Apr 12, 2007 8:16AM PDT

I just recently received my Maxtor III Mini and connected it to my Dell Pentium 4 with a 40G harddrive. The external drive does not run the software and I am unable to get it started. I have followed the directions listed that suggest that I go to START, RUN, browse to the drive used for the Maxtor III Mini (C: drive), and open Launch.exe. I can't find a Launch.exe. I know the computer sees the harddrive because it shows up in the Device Manager. Please help. I am running Windows XP.
