Will Q2013 accept Back up files from Q2000? (my old computer with Q200 0n it has just died on me&gt;)

Yes, it will convert. Can't go back once they are converted. I would make a copy of the backup (before you convert) just in case something goes wrong. Load 2013 and import the backup into operation, then back up the 2013 file.

this hard drive died in less than a year. just froze up during an operating system install. i can't even wipe it clean. i must have gotten a lemon. i don't kno the answer to your question, but i doubt i will buy another one!

I'm using it with Win 8.1 and no problem making backup files. Have not had to recover.

Did you replace your hard drive. I am interested in doing the same thing. Thanks!!

I was able to access and load files from my eMachines W3502 Tower. Therefore, it appears to perform as backward compatible.

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups... I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner. BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable! Fingers crossed on reliability, Yikesboy

That's interesting. I just kept mine in a box, but that was fortunate because when the new drive failed they were able to retrieve my data (again) from my original drive. I would think a computer place that does repairs could help you.Sounds like a great idea, good luck.

Yes. However, a couple of weeks later the hard drive crashed on a13month old machine. The final straw of many problems.

Sure, that's exactly what happened to my Acer netbook. Completely dead so I bought the Sanoxy hard drive enclosure, extracted the hard drive from the old dead netbook and transfered files and photos to my new Asus netbook. Quick and easy.

There is a way to swap files, but why did the computer fail??? If it was due to a virus, you'll unfortunately be swapping that to the new computer. If not, your in luck, you can connect the hard drive as a slave to the new hard drive and download. Look on Cnet.com or instructibles.com to lead you the way. Good luck!! I know how much my files and docs. mean to me and I would hate for them to be corrupted - DVD storage is the way to go, unless you have access to a cloud. Hate to say this, but let this be a lesson learned, I lost allot of files I wish I still had from the late 90's and 2000's - Be smart and use external storage, Peace Brother or Sister

As of yet there is no 2013 model. These are just late 2012 models. Easy way to find out if this kit will work for you is to look at Disk Utility and look up the Connection ID. I posted a pick. This is an upper bay kit so that bay needs to be free. Don't just assume.

The Q and Q10 are on different version paths. So a Q10 needs the Q10 Firmware.

Yes your system supports this drive. It does not come with any software for copying your old drive. You have a older PC, is it worth putting money into it?

Does anyone have the current software to download? So I can get mine to work again. I now have a new computer and I backed everything on to MyBook portable hard drive.

I can't either! (make the NTI Back Up Now software work). I'm not very technologically savvy, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Next, I tried backing up files using the Windows (I think) software that's already on my (Toshiba, with Vista) computer, because I was about to ship my computer and didn't want to risk losing files in transit. I thought I had backed up the photographs and documents that I deemed essential, but when I checked the drive to see if my files were on it, it is empty. I can't find any user manual for this on the web. Maybe it's the fault of Vista. Any suggestions?

Molley, hello: The ability to retrive data from an inoperable hard drive depends on a number of things. The most important factor, in my opinion, is whether you've waited too long to retrieve data; as a result, some or all data files may have become unretrievable. Assuming that you've not waited too long and thereby not compromised data, I recommend that you buy and try the NewerTech universal device. My "external" hard drive (on a Mac platform and OS) had been clicking quietly for a week without engaging; it was unable to back up files as scheduled. I ordered, received, and utilized the NewerTech universal drive adapter. On my first connection and try, the adapter recognized my external hard drive, located all the files on it, and accepted my request to transfer those files to a new external hard drive replacement. I was happily surprised that all files were located and transferred with no loss. There's no guarantee that the NewerTech Universal adapter will be successful. If I were you, I wouldn't wait any longer; neither would I send the drive to a facility that attempts to retrive files because of the cost of doing so; I'd but the NewerTech USB 3.0 Universal device. HTH. Warren
