I have a Dell Inspiron 3647 computer with win 7 os and want to back up this hd. I have a external hd via usb with win xp pro os that I want to back up on to. Will this work?
Hi, The xp os is from my computer 6 months ago when xp was no longer supported I bought the new 3647 and win 7 installed on it. I bought the hardware to access the files on the old xp os via usb. Now I would like to back up on it if possible. Thanks for your help.
