Re: Backup error

Hi John, yes the d drive is part of my hard drive. Thank you for your reply.
I think I might have to invest in an external hard drive.
Do you have any idea what size external hard drive I would be best getting
just for backups? If I delete the things backed up already on the d drive
will this affect my computer?
