How to use my external USB hard drive




By mamabiker on Oct 30, 2008

" "
Haven't backed up my C: drive for about 18 months on my Western Digital USB 2.0 160GB.
S/N: WCAL9671002
MDL: WD1600BDNN15

Now I've forgotten how to do it & can't find my little booklet.
When I turn the WD on the window that comes us says that the device has more than one type of content.
The choices are:
Play: Windows Media Player
Browse Media Files: Using Media Experience
Copy Disc: Sonic
Add Files: Sonic
Play: Music Match
Copy Pics to folder on Computer
View Slide Show
Print Pics
View this image in a slideshow
View pics on a removable media
Copy pics & view: Picasa
Download/View images
Play Video Files
Open Folder to view files
No Action

Don't see anywhere about backing up C:

I also pressed the button down from the power button (kind of looks like two pages overlapping). Nothing happened.
Seemed to me that was the button that I pressed to go to a choice of how to backup. But as I said, nothing happened.

Also pressed the third button - three leaf-like symbols
Nothing happened.
I can access the WD & see/access those files.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you,

IF you want to back it up
in the above list you made, click view all files in folders
then highlight all the files and to the left it should say Burn To Disk
click on the burn to disk and follow the on screen instructions
Hope this helps
if not write what other trouble it has

Thank you
