I don/t remember how I did it. I want to format it & backup again. Should I do the whole computer or only selected folders, which folders. It would also be nice to plug it into the computer & read parts that I want to. Little words please, this is PJ talking. Thanks PJ:confused:	Poppa John (284)

As for copies of docs, pictures etc, a simple copy and paste via Windows Explorer onto a portable drive is all you need.	pctek (84)

I assume I can do both on a 1TB drive. Thanks PJ	Poppa John (284)

You should be able to fit both an image & a basic copy(as above) on a 1Tb HD. Depending on how much stuff you have to backup of course.	1101 (13337)
