Also a single copy is always a bad idea. I'd keep the old 40GB Ultra ATA IDE drive and put it into some case so you have 2 copies later.
Hello everyone,
I cannot for the life of me understand how to get my external hard drive to work. Here's my question: I have an old Apple eMac, the system version is Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W9
and I want to copy most all of the iTunes, iPhoto, documents, and some videos from this computer onto an external hard drive. I bought a WD My Passport for Mac 500 GB external hard drive and it says that the computer does not recognize it. Thats fine but what type of drive can I use for this old machine? I want to destroy the computer and just keep the information on it. Any information on a compatible external hard drive or a way to solve this problem will be much appreciated! Thanks
