I have better things to spend my time on,will hand external drive to local tech for confirmation of paperweight status.I appreciate everyones offers and help.Thanks.

When i first bought this drive,I used back up in windows which gave me a copy (or clone) of what was on C drive which was what i wanted,but months later i backed up C again and the copy was just a list of files. Thank you all,i might take a short break then come back to this.

I am far from a techie, so after starting Macrium and downloading 500MB from Microsoft and not being able to follow what was going on,i gave up.Rather bail early than make a blunder and lose the lot. Thanks.

Not spending any more money,spent $99 for drive which is now a paperweight!! Thanks all.

Windows still can't format drive so the whole thing is finished! Thanks all.

Folks, System would not format external drive until i unchecked "quick format",looks like it may take an hour or two.My plan is to have as much of my C drive as possible available as a back up in case of hard drive problem.I am using WD one TB external drive.I had previously downloaded Macrium...

Folks, My plan is to back up and store my entire system to an external hard drive. First problem,Windows 10 can't format drive. If i get t it to format,will it be an exact copy from my Drive C? Thanks
