I reckon if you map it it'll solve the problem.

I think i love you Sam. I just mapped it and started the backup, already everything seems better. I can access the drive quickly and everything!

Just to appease my inquisitive nature, what purpose does that serve exactly? Also, my drive is constantly disconnected, reconnected, turned on, turned off, and ip changed, will this mean i have to remap everytime - not that it's problem -  or will my drive be forever mapped?

Thank you Sam and Si Pie, i was getting so fucked off. I owe you both one. Big time.

When you map it there's a tick box for 'reconnect at logon'. Just tick it and the drive will automatically be mapped every time Windows starts.

By mapping it, you've given the drive a physical address on the network so Windows will recognise it as a storage drive. Otherwise you're just remotely accessing it each time like you would a website for example.

IT FUCKING WORKS!!!!!

It's ran three profiles without errors already!

I am seriously very, very happy.

Thanks again.

The invoice is in the post

Not if you select the connect at login option or something like that

Meh, Sam beat me to it. I was checking what to bet on this week.

Check your flux capacitor as well

Cool, you learn something new everyday.

Thanks again, my appreciation is unimaginable.

Anything i can do to return the favour, just let me know. I'm indebted to you both.

I'd already thought of that. It was fine after McFly put some garbage in it in 10 years time.

I have some good as new parts kicking around if either of you want them as payment.

I have a 100GB sata laptop drive and a 2.5" USB2 IDE enclosure? The drive is out of my lapper, prior to this forced upgrade and the enclosure is of no use because i mistakenly bought it for the old drive, without checking to see if it had sata connectors prior to marking it with a screw driver.

This thread has "i'm a bit of a tosspot" written through it like rock.

Nah, that's ok mate. I have trouble filling my 250GB as it is!

Possibly interested in the HD drive. How much do you want for it?

[Barry Scott]

You can have it. I have no use for it and will only lose it or break it. Let me know.

[Simon Pieman]

Nah it's ok you can lose it or break it. My laptop won't do sata I believe.

You can get programs that can recover all of your files - even after re-formatting

any suggestions or links to where I can obtain such a program?
