In reference to “Build a complete Windows 7 safety net. Win7′s backup system has three major parts. [Newsletter Comp Version]” by Fred Langa, Windows Secrets Newsletter • Issue 288 • 2011-05-12
My directly attached to my PC via USB (not used on my network) LaCie USB NAS 500 GB External Hard Drive never shows up, like it should from what the newsletter says:
“Windows places the word Recommended next to the location it thinks is best, but you’re free to select other locations. For more information, see Microsoft’s Win7 Help & How-to page, “Where should I save my backup?” On the system shown in Figure 3, Win7 offers to save backups to a D drive, a DVD burner, or an external 1-TB drive.”
Lacie could not offer any assistance other than to contact Microsoft. Below are screenshots that show the Edmini drive is listed in my network and in the network adapters but is not listed in the Computer Management – Storage – Disk Management.
