We are short staffed at the moment due to illness and holidays.

If I had more knowledge in this area I could give you some pointers.... but sadly this isn't my field.

Ok its not like its real important, I will hang on and wait then, as I value the help on this site a lot, so would rather wait for a response here than some idiot (like me) just guessing what it is or what to do, thanks

[Starbuck]

Thanks for your understanding.

I have contacted a colleague that is more versed in this field .... hopefully he'll be able to help.

Hi Dopey.

Follow these instructions and see if helps to get only one external drive entry.

What method are you using to back up?

Could you post a screen grab of "Disk Management" please so we can see what sizes partitions are?

Thanks.

4. Save the .reg file to your desktop.

 

But it didn't give me the option to put it in the desk top, so I dont know where its gone now!

when I followed the link it told me to run this explorer shell:::{a6482830-08eb-41e2-84c1-73920c2badb9}

And it did show me the external drive, but it showed just one
