Thanks. Didn't seem to be of much use, though. It didn't even see that there was media connected. At least even Disk Management was able to see...
I have a 750 GB typical SATA HDD from a laptop, which quit being recognized in the laptop. In case it matters, it's a Samsung drive, probably...
Thanks for the tips. Actually, I do understand and agree with the multiple backups. In fact, that's part of why I'm wondering this. Because of...
By "directy," I simply mean using an interface, such as Explorer, to copy the files in the usual manner (such as copy/paste, drag/drop,etc). In...
