OK, I went to back up all my important info to my external detachable hard drive today and just like last time it said the disk was corrupt and had to be reformatted. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? After I backup my info I detach it, so it shouldn't be subject to power spikes or anything else. I'm only backing up documents and pics, so I'm not sure why there is such a problem.
Any ideas on what is going on? --------------------   |

Usually the guide for the added hardware will give info too on how to use the safe-to-remove icon. Sometimes it's more than just that one-click step.... may involve a 'remove item' step from the hard drive too before clicking on the icon for example.
Try out these guys too... the best free help you can get online for pc issues; http://forums.techguy.org/21-windows-nt-2000-xp/ Also, invest in a UPS [uninterruptable power supply] if you can [not a cheap one]. It'll help you avoid issues like brown-outs / surges/ blackouts/spikes -better than a surge protector. This post has been edited by Hellfighter: 04/17/07 10:13am --------------------   |
