Can I Use My E Drive To Work From?

I only have a 40G internal HD with 19G headroom. I have a
250G external drive (USB). Can I use my external drive to maintain
and work from, or does DW require I use the C drive? Thanks!

All my sites are on my F: drive.

  • Can I Use a network drive to work with Mac and Windows?

    Is it possible to introduce a network drive which can be accessed by both Mac and PC? I manipulate images in Photoshop on my Mac but the software I use to create slide shows is only available in PC format. This software is used more or less universally in the area of photography I am invo;ved with so changing is not an option. Can anyone advise me please.

    Yes sure. Any NAS type drive formatted in any way will work. Both Mac OS X and Windows communicate by Ethernet Packets to a Networked drive and it is up to the NAS device OS to translate those Ethernet Packets to the format used on the drive.
    Even if you are using a standard external drive connected to a Router or another computer, which is what a NAS is (A self contained computer with Operating System and hard drives), that router or NAS box does all the translating.

  • Can I use a flash drive to back up my iTunes?

    Did a search on backing up my iTunes, and only get the option of backing up to a disc (Which is what I've done over the past 3 years. I now have 6 discs accumulated).
    Can I use a flash drive to back up my apps, music, and videos?
    I only have a total of 1.6 GB of apps, music, & video.
    If so, would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
    Thanks for any advice or help.

    The backup built into iTunes works only with CDs and DVDs, but you can back up onto a flash drive or hard drive manually. Just drag the entire iTunes folder (normally in your user's Music folder) onto the backup device.
    would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
    Yes. If you back up the entire iTunes folder, you should be able to just copy it back to the new drive in the same location (user -> Music folder).

  • Can I use a flash drive in my DV6-1320SD?

    Can I use a flash drive  in my DV6-1320SD?
    And if so, what specs do I need to look for?
    As far as I know, a flash drive is additional to the existing hard drive, not a replacement. Could you keep the old hard drive as a seperate data drive, inside the laptop, and work from the flash drive?

    Not the way you are thinking. Your model is a generation behind the laptops that have a place for a miniature solid state drive. The only "flash" (solid state) drive you can use is one that is the same size and connection as a regular laptop hard drive (2.5 inch SATA) and it would replace, not be in addition to, the regular hard drive. Having said that, the price of solid state drives is just now becoming somewhat reasonable and the performance gains have to be seen to be appreciated. 
    Post back if you want to explore buying, installing and loading software on a solid state drive. 

  • Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!

    Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!
    The WD My Passport, I purchased back in early December 2013 & I just used it the other day after I updated my Macbook... & of course it says in the online manual it works for Mac Lion, Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard but not this new Maverick update. Is there anything I can do?

    I like the free demo of SuperDuper to make clones. It's free, Tiger and Leopard ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
    You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it.
    I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
    With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on some Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive. Be careful, there are a few external FireWire drives out there that are not bootable on Macs. Check the drive's manual to be sure.

  • TS3683 Not enough space on my Mac HD to back up my iPad.   My iTunes library is on an external drive.  Can I use this same drive to Back yup my iPad?

    I don't have enough space on my Mac HD to back up my iPad.   Actually, my iTunes library is on an external drive.  Can I use this same drive to Back up my iPad?

    1. First make sure iPhoto is not running. If it is, quit it. Use the Finder to copy your iPhoto Library file to your external drive. Unless you've changed it, its located inside your Pictures folder and is named "iPhoto Library".
    2. After the copy is complete, start iPhoto while simultaneously holding down the option key. iPhoto will bring up a dialog box. The file in the list is your existing Library on your internal disk. Click the "Other Library" button and navigate to your external drive. Select your freshly copied iPhoto Library file and click "Open". iPhoto will from now on open and work with this library on the external drive.
    3. After you've confirmed iPhoto is working properly with the newly copied library you may wish to delete the original library in your Pictures folder to recover the disk space.
    Don't forget to keep a backup copy of your library on a separate disk. It's not a matter of "if" your external drive will fail but "when". You need to make regular backups or you'll be sorry someday.

  • Can I use NTFS Compressed drives to install R12?

    As R12 consumes lots of disk space, around 130+ Gb, can I use NTFS compressed drives for installing R12. Even though compressed drives are not recommended for R11 because patching and relinking will not work properly if R11 is installed on compressed drives.

    R12 uses more like 160GB, and it is still not available for Windows. Once it is, it has worked fine in the past on a compressed drive for single-user/training installations. I applied about 4000 patches from 11.5.3 to 11.5.10 on windows compressed drive without any issues due to disk compression. Most patch failures on windows are due to missing symbols during relinking.

  • Can I use my DVD Drive from my pc to load Tiger on my Mac

    Can I use my DVD Drive From my pc (compaq R4000)to load Tiger onto my Mac G3 Blue & White?

    The short answer is no
    long answer is maybe but if you manage to get a DVD drive from a Compaq into a G3 then install Tiger it will be so slow (Tiger on a G3 iMac) it'll bring tears to your eyes.
    What are talking about this sloww nonsense! I've been using Tiger since it came out on my Summer 01' 'Snow' iMac 500Mhz and it works quite nicely! Sure garageband is sssllooww but who needs it. Everything elese is good! Just bump up the ram and your good to go as long as the processor is 450Mhz or higher! Although after looking at your post, you were using OS 8.6 so I assume its a 233Mhz. So ya that would be slow...BUT I've found 10.2 Jaguar to work well with my Bondi 233Mhz with 192MB of Ram...

  • HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool  to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to  'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
    The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
    Thanks for the info.

  • Can I use one icloud drive account to back up all family share devices?

  • HT202380 Can I use a back drive that I had on my PC on my new Macbook Air? Or do I need to purchase a new backup drive?

    Can I use my back drive from my PC with my new Macbook Air and Time Machine? Or do I need to get a whole new back up external hard drive?

    You should be able to use a drive that was previously used with a PC. You will likely need to reformat it. Note the following quote from Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    Your Time Machine drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). If you select an NTFS or FAT-formatted drive, Time Machine prompts you to reformat the drive. Important: Reformatting erases any files on the destination drive. If you're not sure if you want to erase the drive you connected, choose a different drive.
    The following gives instructions on how to reformat to Mac OS X Extended. It refers to Aperture but the instructions would be the same: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture - Apple Support

  • Can you use external hard drives with the HP Omni 10 5600US

    Since this a Windows tablet, can you use external hard drives with the HP Omni 10 5600US?
    I know there is a micro-sd reader for additional storage but can you use the usb for external hard drives like a regular pc?
    I tried looking at the spec's for this tablet and it said the usb port was host only. I'm not sure what that means exactly.

    Yes you can.  You'll need to purchase a USB OTG (on-the-go) cable.  I recommend using a drive that has its own power supply but I've successfully used small USB powered drives also.
