I have an Iomega Prestige external HDD onto which I backed up my PC's HD using EMC Retrospect Express HD. Shortly afterwards my PC's HD crashed and had to be replaced. When I tried to restore

When I restore data from my Iomega external HDD onto a replacement internal HDD on my PC, the PC fails to restart when prompted, giving a hardware conflict issue message. I used EMC Retrospect Express HD backup software as advised in the literature which came with my Iomega HDD.

SOURCE: Iomega Prestige 1TB External Hard Drive (34275) adapter

Hi LeoChen,

Most of the Iomega drive adapters do but not all. There's no information on Iomega's site regarding the voltage but if you look carefully at the fine print on the adapter, it should have a Input Voltage Range listing, normally 100-240, if this is the case then as long as you have a cord that fits from the wall to the adapter the adapter will adjust itself to voltage within this range. If you have one of the few that staes only 90-120V for range then the answer is no, but Targus sells a universal adapter for laptops that comes with an appropriate tip for your drive that does support 90-240V.


Hope this helps FixYa,

Chris

SOURCE: Is it possible to boot from an Iomega eGo

It's possible to clone to this drive, but over the USB interface, it will be very slow. Firewire would be faster. It's also possible to boot from it, but again, it will be slower than an internal. What you've described, however, IS possible.

SOURCE: Hi,I have a Iomega Prestige

If a hard-drive becomes suddenly unresponsive, it is almost always a terminal failure. Sadly, there is no way for anyone except a very specialized laboratory to recover a damaged hard drive, a very expensive process. Fortunately, you have backed up your data, so you are only out the cost of the drive itself.

EMC Retrospect Express HD It was working and now it is not and is adking me for my original password to change the setup. It is not backing up to My Book

Your My Book World came with a CD that included the Retrospect and a program called MioNet (may be installed as WD Anywhere Access powered by MioNet). You can find your Username and Password by running the MioNet program, and going up to Help > Backup Info. If you have an old version of MioNet you will have the Backup Info button right on the interface on the upper right-hand side, it's a square button.
