Hi all
a friend of mine is having major malware problems and wants to format his seagate barracuda to make sure the problems are gone for good. he asked me to make a copy of the drive and put it on a new WD passport that he gave me and then format it.
i hooked up both drives to my pc and the WD passport is detected as it should be in windows 7 but the seagate drive is not. it is a 250gb drive and my system is reading it as having a capacity of 78gb with 21gb free.
this makes no sense to me as it is but what is even more confusing is that when i manualy select all of the files and folders on the drive and copy them to folder on the passport i end up with a folder that has a total of 8.5 gigs.
does anyone know of a cheap (or free) app that i can use to make an exact copy of the old drive to put on the new portable?
