General disk maintenance? File extensions? etc. Better than TechTool or Disk Tools Pro 3.8 ?

My answer to your question is that when I have a problem that is not solved by disk utility or TechTool I feel a certain confidence that Disk Warrior will solve it. I've been using this program for many years and it has gotten me out of many messes. As for Disk Tools pro i've never used it so I can't speak on it. When ever the os has upgraded to a system incompatible with Diskwarrior they create an upgrade quickly. Hope this helps. '

Why would you want to do that ? How about deleting old files on the drive instead ?

You have to store someplace. I have a dedicated Netbook with 70gb HDD. I auto retain 48 hours then auto delete. If I don't want specific file deleted, I save to mem stick. You can redirect temp auto save to where ever you want. Can be mem stick or where ever.

I have removed almost all of it except web cam app and cd recovery creator... I bought a netbook and it greatly benefits from a less is more approach.... FYI if you uninstall anything you want back, just go to the toshiba website, for computers/support and when you type in your model you can download all of the bundled programs individually and also get updates etc...

I use windows 7 and find that just using folders is sufficient for my needs. If you prefer extra organizational tools, rack2-filer may be useful. It basically allows you to set up a filing system using filing cabinets and binders. I do like the feature that allows you to flip through your documents page by page and the search feature. It does have a space limit so review the size limitations and compare to your application.

I successfully use the 2TB My Book Live for backups until upgrading to Lion. Now it is painful. It takes 7-10 days for a fresh backup of 300GB using Time Machine over a wired network. And TM demands a fresh backup every few weeks. I've scoured the internet for answers, with no success. I regret I ever bought this drive.

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

No. All the software can do is read the directory of the disc and make a list of file names, that is, when it doesn't freeze in the process.

I reformat the disc! The tools menu has this as an option, and it works great. I do it after every download.

Check he website. I think I saw some programs that you could download. But the drive works like any other so you can just use your OS backup software which works like a charm. It's really plug and play, no software needed.

Very easy. But I would strongly recommend the larger disk size, the OS and some software will fill a good portion of the drive. Worth the extra money upfront

You can format the drive as FAT 32, Mac OS Extended, or NTFS. Your decision.

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

I never could get timers to work correctly. There is a new Seagate OS 4 you can try or at least read up on.

Probably is not initialized of formatted yet. Check under Windows' "Disk Management".

From past experiences with WD I stopped using them several years ago. Seagate or Hitachi would be a better choice in my opinion.

I have done a few hard drive and SSD swaps and upgrades using the drive copy tool with Mini Tool Partition Wizard free addition from partitionwizard.com
