Scenario #1:
You MAY use the free agent software that came preloaded on your external drive.
IF your external drive is physically attached to your PC, your PC should recognize (beep).
Open MY COMPUTER, and the drive should be reflected in this window.
If your computer recognizes the drive, double click on the drive and you should see the program to activate the preloaded software.

Scenario #2:
If your external drive is connected & your PC recognizes the drive, you can copy files to the drive using Windows.
Select the file or files you wish to copy
Ensure the file or files are highlighted. When they are highlighted, you can do a RIGHT click and select SEND TO.
You want to SEND TO your external drive.

Hope this helps. Send a reply if I can be further assistance.

Plus your free agent to your computer, then copy your files and folders from your compute to the new external one. Use copy and paste.

Either you have 50 gigs of stuff on there or your hard drive space is not being properly read. U might need to reformat the drive if necessary.
Meanwhile your xbox electronics may have a limit on the size of space - so if the drive has 200 gigs of space on it and your unit will only recognize 32 gigs, then that is all it sees and can use. Capiche?

reformat your computer but first backup all your data by putting your another internal hardrive on your computer and move all your files you need to the empty hardrive and after that take the hardrive with all your stuff in it off the computer and then reformat the hardrive which the external hardrive does not work on and install a new operating system then put the other hardrive with all your stuff back on your computer and transfer your stuff into the hardrive with a operating system then try the external hardrive

you can put all your stuff into FlashDrives and then after you reformat the hardrive with an operating system put your stuff back into the computer and after that the external hardrive should work

Itunes messed up my external hardrive
I doubt that iTunes really moved/reorganized files on your computer.

iTunest may have created its own "Table Of Contents", presenting a "view" of all your files.

Open "My Computer" and open your external hard-drive.
The files should be in "your" order.

Open "My Documents". Open "My Music".
The files should be in "your" order.


If iTunes really did "reorganize" your files, there's no way to "go back", because "Windows System Restore" does not automatically created time-stamped backups of your 'My Documents' folder (nor of any external disk-drive -- where would it put that much data???).
