Hi Vincent,
Did the external drive come with a CD which in turn usually contains specific
backup/system backup software that should do the job better than Windows 7 own
tools. Find this disk and install the software on it. Also make sure that the
external drive isn't being used by windows to index files already as this will
hinder the process of system backups also.
The Windows tools for creating system backups are fine if you are using an
internal drive such as a second hard drive like SATA or SSD.
Paul.

Hi Vincent,
Try this;
1. Open the start menu then go into All Programs and then into Accessories.
2. Arrow down to "Command prompt" and press the application key on it.
3. Arrow down to "Run as administrator" and press enter then answer "Yes" to
the security prompt.
4. In the command prompt type in the following;
Important: in the below command I mention to convert the "F drive" you must
replace the "F letter" with whichever letter your external hard drive is.
convert f: /fs:ntfs /nosecurity
Then press the enter key on the above command once you have typed it.
Note: After it has converted the drive it may ask you to type in a label, you
can type in something or just press the Enter key to leave it blank. At this
point you are done.
Paul.
