  1. My external hard drive is mirror my PC documents folder, how do I remove this


    My sister wanted to play the sims with an external hard drive and did some mklink commands with the documents folder from the PC to transfer data to the external hard drive in Windows Powershell. When the computer restarted the same documents folder that is on the PC is on the hard drive. If something is deleted on the hard drive documents folder, it is also deleted on the pc documents folder as well. How do I stop the mirroring affect?

    :)

    Hi John,

    We suggest that you try the troubleshooting steps below:

    • Open your External Hard Drive file in File Explorer.
    • Type the name of the file you want to search on the search box and click Enter.
    The file will show up in Search Results and you will be able to move it to the correct folder.

  3. External Hard Drive

    I am using a new desktop with Windows 10/Mozilla-Firefox Browser.....

    External Iomega hard drive backup....Model LDHD320-U

    I am having a problem accessing some files in the Iomega backup.

    Problem #1:

    Am not getting the "menu" window that gives all the options with the external hard driv

    The following are the steps that I have taken to use the external hard drive:

    Plug in Iomega external hard drive....

    My Windows "File Explorer" recognizes the hard drive....

    Clicking on the Iomega Drive brings up my file folders....

    Brings up: Administrator

    My name

    Click on "my name"

    Lists: "Desktop"

    "Favorites"

    "My Documents"

    Double Click on "My Documents" brings up total list of those "files"

    Some of the files are "defined" (on left side of list) with pic of a "file" folder.

    Some are defined by, "Adobe Reader" symbol

    Some are defined by, "Word" symbol

    I can open successfully the "Adobe Reader" and "Word" files ok.

    (I have Microsoft Office 2013 installed)
    The others with symbol of a plain file folder produces this small window error:

    "Windows Script Host"
    Code: 800A1391
    Window is undefined

    Tried looking up the error code above and don't understand squat......

    Thank you...

    <Moved to appropriate board>
