| vista home premium 64 bit | Copy DVD to external hard drive Can anyone give advice? I am in the Army and when we deploy I want to take some of my store bought movies/DVD's and copy them to a external hard drive instead of lugging a case full of movies all over the world. This will make things more convienient due to the sand and other seasonal issues. All this is new to me and will be for personal use while out of the country. I am running Vista Home Premium 64 bit 500 GB HD and I have two Maxtor Black Armor drives. I am NOT wanting to make copies just to put them on the drive. Thanks, |
