How To Backup Computer With Maxtor External Hd With No Software Included?

Submitted by admin on September 23, 2009 – 2:31 amOne Comment

I bought a maxtor external harddrive but it came with no software. I can hook it up to my computer but I don’t know what to do to make sure my computer is backed up on it. Please help. Do I need to download a program? I know how to drag and drop things to save, but how can I make sure my entire harddrive is backed up on it?
Thanks

    If you hooked in your Maxtor external hard drive:
    1. Double click ‘My Computer’
    2. Check out the drive letters showing.
    C: = Main Hard Drive Partition where your operating system is.
    D: = a. Backup partition where the factory reset is.
    b. Your External Hard Drive
    NOTE: Right click and pick properties to see what space is on the drive and what is used and what is free.
    E: = Your CD or DVD drive
    Computers show hard drives first and then optical drives second by nature. Put a data disc in your dvd/cd drive to insure it shows up and identifies itself.
