Hi folks: Newbie here.
During the first auto backup attempt, I forgot to plug the external HD into my new HP Pavillian running Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS and so the back up, of course, failed.
So I figured I'd try a manual back up; however, instead of selecting the external HD (option was not available cause the drive was not plugged in) I selected Drive E where I store my documents.
The backup begn but once I realized what was happening I stopped it. Well it left 3 items in in the E Drive where I store my files
1) system volume information folder
2) MediaIn.bin file
3) my compuer name and -PC folder
I finally came to my senses and plugged in the external and backed to it and noticed the backup has these 3 files as well.
I already deleted #3 above -- is there a reason why I should not delete the other two items from E Drive since they show up on the L Drive when the external HD is plugged in?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I've gone from a machine running win98se to Vista home premium 64 bit and I'm scared to death of it.
Thanx
