Hello,
I would be most grateful for help.
A few months ago I removed the 350GB disk from my Pace Sky box, brought the lead outside the box and connected it to an unused 1TB Western digital (Green) drive. It is now 60% full and over the past few days has started to make a noise. I disconnected it from the lead and connected the 350GB disk to the lead.
I want to copy programs from the 1TB disk to an internal PC drive and probably onto another External drive.
I have used Copy+ to format a disk in the past. I cannot remember if I formatted the 1TB with Copy+ before using it to record programs.
Is there a method of finding if it was formatted with copy+?
Copy+ Problem on my PC
Every time I launch Copy+ it tells me I am using version 1.2.0.5 and asks me if I want to upgrade. Version 1.2.0.8 was already downloaded and installed.
I did once get a message in a Microsoft dialog box that a file was missing. I uninstalled Copy+ downloaded it, upgraded to version 1.2.0.8 and restarted Windows 7 PC. It still asks if I want to upgrade.
The 1TB disk is recognised by Disk Management.
Windows Explorer shows its many folders and their contents.
Copy+ does not recognise it. Nor does it recognise other drives on my computer.
In Copy+, when selecting source or Destination drive and using option "XTV backup image file", the external Hard Drive containing the sky programs folders are displayed.
Selecting all folders cause a message to be displayed - "No items to match your search."
copy+ log has a few entries stating "This is not a USB device"
Requests:
as mentioned above, is there a method of finding if a hard drive was formatted with copy+?
is it possible to format a new drive with Copy+ and use Windows Explorer to copy files to it; then using Copy+ to further process the program files?
do I have any other useful options?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Bill
