[QUOTE="Justin, post: 387189, member: 25120"] I have tried to use Superduper program for backing up my external hard drive and it has not worked. It seems to give even no option to back it up! Do you know what program I can use for making a backup? Also here is a more detailed explanation of what I had tried to do: On "copy" menu I get this: Macintosh HD HD 1 HD 2 Disk Image ... On "to" menu I get this: Macintosh HD HD 1 HD 2 HD 3 Disk Image ... HD 1 and 2 are two partitions on one external drive, mac formatted. Disk Image... is just an program on my desktop. HD 3 is another external drive, formatted MS-DOS file system (FAT32). It will not allow me to copy to HD 3. It says "HD-HU2 is formatted as Windows_FAT_32, which cannot properly host HFS+ files along with all their attributes, resources and ownership." That seems pretty silly to me. But far worse is that HD 3 does not even appear in the "copy" menu! Why should I not be able to back up a drive formatted in FAT32? I need to have a drive in a format PCs can read. Is there no way on mac to back up such a drive? Thank you! Justin [/QUOTE]
