Hi My mum has two laptops, one xp and one windows 7, if she plugs in her xp backup drive, it's a Seagate free agent 250 gb drive on her windows 7 pc, is it likely to cause her problems if she puts it back on her xp machine? I have a sneaky suspicion that it isn't even compatible with windows 7, it is about 2 years old, it works with vista apparently. I'll have to check the specs. The other question or problem, my mum is having problems with her xp laptop, the pc is shutting down and when she turns it back on again it is only going into dos mode and the screen has the word tra tra in diagonal lines across the screen, what could this be? The laptop is a satellite a60 pro, it is about 6 years old which is why we got her the new laptop but she is transferring all her files over. The screen has been changing colour over a period of time, it has gone from the windows colour to shades of pink. I am certain that the pc is on it's last legs.
