I want to do a backup before trying these update installs [and uninstalls], and I have a Maxtor Mini III, One Touch external hard drive, I hoped I could use temporarily.
It presently has Acronis True Image on it and backups for my XP desktop, which I no longer need. Will it be recognized by Win7, or do I have to use my desktop to delete everything on the drive before using it with the laptop? Or can I even format it for Win7?
And where would I go to find out how to do that?
Forgot to say this is an old drive.
I know I'm pushing my luck asking all these O/T questions, but I'm hoping someone will take pity on me. I've tried other sites with no response. TIA... if anyone has the time.
