    Backing Up External HD Data

    It does seem small. There are 277 AVI clips captured into the project in question; the largest of which being 1.59GB, and yet clicking over the icon for the whole project shows "Size: 2.14MB". The individual clips are often larger than the project containing them all. Can anyone shed any...

    Backing Up External HD Data

    The project's currently 2.14 MB. That's just with maybe a third of the clips I intend to capture and no edited sequence. Once editing begins, I'll be backing up the project at regular intervals. Looks like I'll probably be able to do this without using lots of CDs judging by the current...

    Backing Up External HD Data

    Thanks, Tony. I think it's the recovery partition that only maxes 5.98GB. Mind you, the C drive hasn't much space on it either – hence me getting the external drive recently. Is Nero's InCD a freeware program? I'd like to try the CDRW approach. I have Sonic Digital Media Home. Would that...

    Hello Tek-Tip folks, The last time I posted, I was having a few teething problems with my external hard-drive. Pleased to say those issues were resolved. However, a new dilemma's presented itself... After capturing lots of DV footage into an Adobe Premiere project and saving that project on...

    External Hard-drive Questions.

    Update to previous post - I've tried it a few times now. Sometimes it crashes. Other times, it activates the camera as the capturing device only to crash again once I press "record" to capture some footage. Also, a window's popped up a few times reading "There may be a fault with your...

    External Hard-drive Questions.

    Hello again. I went for the 500GB drive and successfully reformatted it to NTFS this morning. However, I'm having trouble as far as the daisy-chaining's concerned. I've created an Adobe Projects folder on the new drive and a new Test project in Adobe Premiere to store in that folder. When...

    External Hard-drive Questions.

    You're a star, Nelviticus. Thanks. Yep. I'm prioritising the 500GB one. I'm confused reading the spec for machines. Are there two types of FW lead? Some say 4-pin. Others say 6-pin :>S

    Hello again. Happy new year to everyone. I still haven't bought an external hard-drive yet. Currently deliberating over these two... http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(22034)LaCie-320GB-7200rpm-External-FWire-400-Hard.aspx...

    External Hard-drive Questions.

    Just a quick update with regards to my situation... I'm either gonna go for a) an add-on card and a F/W + USB external drive or b) another option, mentioned recently by a colleague, that involves connecting an external F/W + USB drive to the hard drive tower and the camera (from which I'm...

    External Hard-drive Questions.

    Thanks very much for your assistance, Nelviticus :>) Looks like I'll be buying an add-on card, probably to provide another Firewire port. I need to check whether my PC has spare PCI slots. Would I do this by removing the panel from the hard-drive tower or something? Oh, and are Firewire...

    That's promising, then, as it reads NTFS.

    External Hard-drive Questions.

    Cheers :>) The CPU's 2.80GHz. Is that going to be fast enough? Clicked on My Computer and Properties, but couldn't find either "FAT32" or "NTFS" mentioned throughout the tabs. Where should I look next once the Properties window's popped up?

    External Hard-drive Questions.

    Thanks very much for your advice, folks. I've a few leads to explore there. Please bear with me as I cab be a bit dim sometimes when it comes to technical stuff... * I need to ascertain whether my computer's formatted to FAT32 or the required NTFS. How would I go about this? * It'd...

    Hello there, I'm looking to purchase an external hard-drive so as to provide enough space to edit a feature film using Adobe Premiere 7.0. I'd be very grateful if anyone would relay assistance given the following queries… * My current hard-drive has about 3GB space left. I'm wondering...
