And that is my main headache right now. The HDD I bought also does auto back ups. I did not want this. I managed to uninstall the auto-back-up software, but now windows crashes (a stop error, technically) every time the drive is connected, or if the computer is started with the drive connected.
I've been posting at the online support web page for the drive manufacturer but so far have no help. I am getting pissed off at it.
Bebop ... is your external drive made by Western Digital? Mine is, and so far it has been rubbish.
