External HD
4 Answers
Going back to my previous heading of MC Works, I got the Maxtor out of the box as advised by Ethel and pluged it in. I could see the logo on "My Computor" but that is far as I can get. Is there a booklet or something I can get to guide me as what to do and click. When I do manage to get the HD working and say all my photos are safely installed the next question will be, how do I play the photos back on the laptop at a later date.
I apologise for being such a thicky but after a lot more than 3 score and ten the brain does get slower which I regret but cannot do anything about .
