I have a Toshiba laptop X205-S9349 - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I am a senior citizen and this is my first problem with Vista. Drive E on my computer is the automatic backup drive and I noticed it is almost full. I use an external hard drive (Seagate Replica) to back everything up. Plug it in and let it go. I would like to disable the Drive E, and someone gave me the instructions from these forums on how to enable or disable the backup status. Although this scares me a bit, I feel disabling it is my only option. My question is, if I disable it, can I safely delete the files on that drive so I can free up more space on my computer. I was reading some of the other posts and came across something about"patition". What is that? Is that an option? Also, if I disable the backup drive, does this mess up my "restore point" feature. Right now I am a bit overwhelmed and confused but at my age, that's not too unusual.:D Simple explanations and instructions would be appreciated, but I am more than willing to learn. Thanks so much in advance. MK
