How to back up forget me not. I tried to move it from one computer to another saving it on a flash drive didn't work.

It takes a long time to rewrite everything from one computer to another. I'm having a tech do some work on my current PC and they want me to back up everything. I'm afraid I'm going to lose all of my forget me not info when they work on my pc. Any suggestions would be great.

I would buy another hard drive and mirror the hard drives. Then transfer the new hard drive to your computer. Mirroring will copy everything to the new drive

Computer Won't Let Me Past Disc Check?

if you have any external devices plugged in such as mice or hard drive or usb unplug them and then try to reboot. check online for the brand name of your computer for "safe Mode" typically its hitting the F buttons or the delete button and going into safe mode then if it will save the file you really need. then try to reboot

Windows run doesn't keep my work history

you have to physically save any work
save the history to a usb drive in case you have computer failure

Plug the flash drive into your computer's rectangular-shaped USB drive.

Wait for Windows to recognize the system.


Windows operating systems use "plug and play" technology, which means that computer peripherals like USB flash drives can be recognized instantly by the system without further need for device configuration.


Open the drive on your computer.

Open the "My Computer" directory if using Windows XP or the "Computer" directory if using


Windows 7 or Vista. Locate the flash drive letter and icon under the section named "Devices with Removable Storage." Double-click the flash drive icon to open it.


Transfer files to the flash drive.

Click the "Restore" button in the top-right corner of the "Computer" or "My Computer" directory to shrink the window so that you can view your computer's desktop background.


Open the folders or locations of the files which you want to save to the flash drive.

Click and drag with your mouse each of the files and folders you want to save to the flash drive over to the empty space in the "My Computer" or "Computer" window.


Release the mouse button to let the files "drop."

Close the windows and directory locations when finished.


Save files directly onto the flash drive. From an open file (i.e. text, spreadsheet, image files. etc.), click the "File" menu and "Save as" option.


Select the "My Computer" or "Computer" directory in the drop-down menu at the top of the "Save As" box. Double-click the flash drive letter under the "Devices with Removable Storage" section.


Click the "Save" button to save the file onto the flash drive.

Close the windows and files when finished


hope this helps

I have a Gigaware 4GB flash drive. When I initially moved my files to the disk, I was prompted for a password to encrypt the drive. I didn't select one because I didn't want one or need one! I

when it asks for a password try just clicking in the password box and see if it accepts it
also you could download some software http://majorgeeks.com/Dr._Freeware_System_Utilities_d6416.htmlDr.Freeware System Utilities which includes data recovery software, data backup, password reset tools for Windows helps you to maintain your system.

I didn't find a port in ma laptop in which i can plug n play b'coz it didn't plug in into usb ports

Hi there,
These are the minimum system requirements of the flash drive you bought.
• Computer with a USB port • Latest version of Windows XP, Windows Vista® , Windows 7 • Mac® OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 • Minimum free disk space: 600MB recommended
Any way back to the question, there is a protective plastic clip for the gold contacts have you tried removing it before using, it might be the reason you cant stick it to any USB port. Any way don't lost the cap so it can lessen dirt on the gold contacts.

Hopefully this information helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Pull the plug and shut down. Naturally your computer will turn off and it should try to redstart when turned back on.
Hopefully, your startup (Boot) will function and take you to the normal window. If not, the hard drive may have become defective and stopped working.

Normally windows autodects drives. Are you sure that you have all pieces to it. Ususally the part is powered by the USB port. But it depends on the manufacturer some have power supplies that have to be plugged in. If your unit is powered by a power supply it should light up.

One of the ends will small and the other will have a USB plug. It could be you have a bad wire. Try taking the wire to a computer shop or store and see if you can get a replacement.

Hello,
With the drive plugged in, going into your Applications ' Utilities ' Disk Utility Select the drive and press Verify Disk, Repair Disk and Repair Permissions. If you don't have anything on the drive right now, try formatting it with the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system from the Disk Utility.
If that doesn't work the drive may be damaged. If you have another PC / Mac, trying plugging it in and see if it works there. If the drive is under 1 year old it should still be under warrantee, in which you could return it / RMA and get a new one sent back from the manufacture.
Regards, Chris
