    Reformat your external storage


    I have had Sea of Thieves for around 3 years. A few months ago i got an extension hard drive and moved other games onto it but i kept Sea of Thieves on the C drive. Last night i tried to update Sea of Thieves, but after it completed i could not open the game, and got a message that said "there has been an error. I then pressed reinstall without realising that it would be reinstalling the entire game, onto my Extension hard drive. I left my computer on all night and all day today and it has finally finished, but i now have the same message saying "There has been an error." When i press the "see

  2. File History does not recognize external hard drive since reformat

    File History stopped backing up at some point (was a single file name too long for it?). I reformatted my external hard disk, a WD My Book. Now File History will not back up to it, despite it showing up in a list of possible external drives to back up to. I've tried using a free trial version of Backblaze too but it simply isn't backing up. Any suggestions?

  3. Recover or Reformat?

    The reformat won't budge?

    I did what you said and then was told to remove the CD from the CD-Rom Drive, put in the recovery CD and then press the 'OK' button to continue

    So I changed to the next disk but the OK doesn't appear to be being 'pressed'. Yes I have pushed enter on the keyboard which is what I have been using to get me through the other steps..

    Any suggestions?

  4. Reformat your external storage

    Windows 10 Reformat + Storage Spaces

    Hi,

    To answer your question "If you use the Windows 10 clean/reformat feature to reformat your C drive, would that erase any of your data on the storage space or drives?" Kindly refer to the information provided below.

    * If the data on the storage space or drives are not in the drive C, then they should be safe.

    Note:

    For a more secured handling of files and data, we encourage you to back them all up in a more secured storage like external hard drives before you format any of your drives.

    Feel free to post other concerns.

    Regards.
