[bcab] Re: help with formatting an external drive

Hi David,

In My Computer locate the external drive.  Right click on
the drive, and select Properties.  On the General Tab, the
first text box will display the drive's label.  If it's
blank, then simply don't enter a label when formatting.

George.

Subject: [bcab] help with formatting an external drive

The HDD on my lap top went caput a couple of weeks ago -
possibly only a
registry error though.

I have replaced it and have put the old one into an I D E to
U S B converter
and been able to retrieve all the data from it.

I now have two problems:
Q1:  when trying to format the drive through the command
prompt, I am asked
for a volume label.  Several attempted answers have come up
with an error
message saying that it is invalid.  What should I enter?

Q2: I have managed to retrieve a .pst file from which I
would like to
extract some information.
How do I achieve this with Microsoft Outlook on the new
configuration?

TIA

David
