| Can't use removable HDDs as bcackups I have 2 SATAs in caddies that I use for backups. Basic disks, not dynamic. I call them #1 and #2. When I loaded Vista #1 could be reactivated but not #2. Disk manager didn't show an error, it just wouldn't reactivate the disk. So I disconnected the Vista disk and loaded XP on a blank one. Both disks reactivated okay. Put Vista back in and now #2 is okay and I can't reactivate #1. Unless I have an unusual problem, Vista users have lost the ability to use multiple removable disks as backups. Lots of people must do that but I don't see any complaints here. Can anybody comment? P.S. Pentium 4 on Intel board with 865 chipset.      |
