Re: [JAWS-Users] Questions about external back-up drive
Hi, A Seagate product usually installs it's self to your Pc through a Seagate drive . Also, it will install a folder in your documents called Free Agent Seagate, inside the folder there is a installer application. Try updating the firmware through the Seagate website and register your product. Also check, if your Seagate is compatible to your machine?

Hello Jorge, Sorry to throw a wrench in, but is this also true for Western Digital external hard disk drives. As I have a small flat WD 100 GB HDD. Thanks for any assistance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Questions about external back-up drive
Dooi, I don't know about your HD. I have a 1.5 tarabit Seagate, which will last a life time and still be empty. The second one my Vist at the VA ordered one from EVAS, one of the support the Government uses.That one was just a plug in and use for a Dell, I forgot the name and it's capasity. Are you having a hard time trying to get to open it or operate it? Just plug in the USB, turn on the external. Go to my computer and arrow down and see, if the external HD is highlighted . Press enter to open it. Wait, and see, if it's trying to download files to your PC, if not move on. Now Copy paste a useless file and see, if it pasted. If, you were able to paste and copy files in and out, it's working fine. My next thought was to scan the thin manual and save it as a word doc and study your options.
