I did "just" a drag and drop last night of my photos which went fine then it said 20 hours remaining for this back up. I assumed it was going to back up Vista. I didn't check folders/files and click back up on this one...just drag and drop.

Any idea why it went into a 20 back up which I stopped? Could it be my settings or might it be faulty. I think I should have bought an iomega external instead.

I was also thinking of formatting it and reinstalling the software making sure Seagate has that download as I didn't get a CD with this...it just went into install when I connected it the first time a few days ago.

Also, in power saver mode, can you still slightly hear the drive spinning like your internal?

Thanks,
Mike
