At the end of last year I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 installed
Previous to this I had been using Windows XP with a Western Digital WD3200A external disc drive. No problems with Back up or Recovery.
With windows 7 and the same external drive I began to have problems at the end of the recovery in as much as instead of the long stream of 0’s and 1’s I was only getting short sections with the odd red background
Feeling that my disc drive was getting old (at least 5 years) and Playing up I purchased a Western Digital Passport Ultra and this is where my problem really started.
In response to a previous thread (which I can’t find again) I reformatted my Passport Drive and Copied a backup to it. I made it the F:\ drive which was the letter my old working drive had. The drive appears O.K. on my window explorer and on Ghost “Recovery Point Browser”(all local drives and F:\Passport) with both showing my Backup content
Using my Ghost Disc to Boot up I went through the following:
1, Recover my computer
2. Said no recovery points available
3. Clicked O.K. to browse and browsed
4 Clicked on Computer
5. No external hard Drive Present
Where am I going wrong
My current set up is
Toshiba c850 Laptop
Windows 7
Western Digital “Passport Ultra” external hard drive.
Any assistance will be gratefully received
