Please help
I have no clue what I am doing.
I wish to back-up and save an enormous amount of business files and email I have accumulated on my laptop.
I have bought a New 60G HDD and it came with a seperate external case with USB2 , you have to put it together, this is not a big problem.
However, someone told me to set the new HDD as a slave but the USB external case instructions warn " This external sub-system can operate with Master IDE drive only. Please set the IDE drive to Master before connecting."
If I follow the instructions will this work? Would I now have 2 Master HDD?? Is this a problem for a USB connected external HDD?
What else should I watch out for (in laymans terms please).
Thanks so much
