Hello,
How do I make an e:\ device ready on my computer so I can back up payroll files?

We need a lot more information before we can even start to answer this.

What kind of device is e:? Is it a hard disk? A CD / DVD burner? A tape drive?

If it's a CD / DVD burner, then you probably need to put a blank disc into the drive.

What do you normally do to make the drive ready for your backup?
