hi just got myself a maxtor external hard drive. the software provided is impossable with jfw so would like to know if anyone is using a simple backup programme. just want to backup my pc's hard drive to the external drive.
for some reason i can't see the new hard drive though, any ideas why?

the problem is that the external drive is not showing under windows explorer. fire wire card is installed plus the driver supplied.

Also, have you rebooted sense installing the drivers and so forth?
