My SimpleTech 120GB drive has mysteriously become read only. Is there a remedy for this?

SOURCE: restoring backup files

well first off you should not use teh same external hard drive for both dell and mac! and for it to work on a dell you need to go to disc utility in the applications folder and click on you external hard drive and go to the last pannel which is called restore and put in the given info and it shall work!

Using this program http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/dow...at32format.zip

Its worked perfectly on my 300GB usb drive, my PS3 can see it just fine

Oh and it works on vista as thats what i did it on..

SOURCE: I have a Simpletech pininfarina 120gb external hard drive that I used to back up my computer.

did you purchase the storage sync program youmight not be able to download that version again unless you pay for it
if you can or want another free backup utility
save this to a document then click on it to open and download second back up free edition
