  1. Reconnect your drive error keeps coming up for File History


    Hi,

    I keep getting this error popping up: "Reconnect your drive. Your File History drive was disconnected for too long. Reconnect is and then tap or click to keep saving copies of your files."


    Then when I click on this notification, I get a 'warning box': "Reconnect your drive. Your files will be temporarily copied to your hard drive until you reconnect your File History drive and run a backup".


    A few things:


    1. I just did a Backup using the "Go to Backup and Restore windows 7 version". I basically created a system image. For the record I'm usingWindows 10

    2. The option for 'Back up using File History is 'on' in my settings.


    How can I connect the File History Drive so these notifications go away?

    :)
