Hey guys,
I am having a difficult time with my MyBook Essential External HD, and the WDSmartware that I used to run back-ups to my external HD seems to be VERY unresponsive and afterwards it was not able to detect any files on my drive at all.
Would using Windows Back Up instead remedy the problem or should I probably acquire another external hard drive?
Thank you very much and hope to hear a response from ya'll soon!
