jellyreagan Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm running XP Pro and Retrospect 6. I have a Maxtor 5000 external drive for backup connected by USB. I can go to my computer and see my Maxtor drive and the two partitions I have made on it using partition magic v.8. One partition is FAT32 and the other NTFS. From windows explorer or My Computer I can access the old backups on the Maxtor. At the moment I wish to delete (erase) all my old backup on the NTFS partition of my Maxtor external. I use Retrospect/configure/devices/environment but for some reason Retrospect will not list my Maxtor as a recognized drive. It shows my two internal hard drives, my DVD Rom, my CDRW and my media card reader but never my Maxtor External. I believe that I have the most current drivers from both Dantz and Retrospect but am not 100% certain. Why does Retrospect refuse to recognize the Maxtor and how do I rectify the problem?

natew Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi This is the correct behavior for Retrospect. You may use the maxtor disk as a member of a "disk" backup set or you can save a "file" backup set directly to the drive. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
