After Reformatting: Can No Longer Backup to 2nd Hard Drive
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 2:58 pm
It appeared to me that my daily backups of my T42 to a 2nd Hard Drive in a Dock II using ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery were accretive (that one back-up was stacking against the preceeding one, rather than a meshing of the dissimilar portions between each backup).
To be sure, I opted to delete my previous backups and begin again to count the difference in hard-disk storage. I wanted to just delete the backups, but it wasn't obvious how to do that. So I reformatted my 2nd harddrive. However, now when I try to back up using the 2nd hard drive, the ThinkVantage software tells me about 5 or 10 seconds into each effort that the backups weren't successful.
There must be a missing vital step to re-formatting my 2nd drive. Can anyone here lend a hand? Thank you for any assistance.
