[Rik]

I work from home too, David. Especially at things like eating.

This looks good value

[David]

I was just double checking and asking is there any way I could have done this I followed the  few easy instructions and it worked ok.

I cant see how I could have may be fitted it up wrong ?

I have in the box 3 cables 2  black  plastic coated and one silver with a transparant coat

Do all these do the same job?

[Sandra]

The coatings shouldnt affect anything David, its the end connections that are important.

Maybe something like this would save you buying another hard drive :

Thanks for the link just checking it out

Thanks for all your help,I do appreciate it

[David]

Im just start to change over pcs,so the PB will have to go on the desk where the Acer is at present,due to the printer and everything else.nw I see the PB has a Fire wire port........Im a bit nervous about connecting it up though 

[Simon]

Not sure what to say, David, other than it would be very unlucky for the same thing to happen twice. 

[David]

We will soon find out 

[David]

Well bit the bullet and just backed up the PB and its still in the land of the living.....phew.why cant I back up Emails,or would I need to place them in folders and copy that way.....

I have copied all media stuff,music,pics and documents is there any way to copy anything else ?or would this be more of a transfer

[Simon]

What's your email client, David?
