You should not have any issues with what ever brand of external drive you
purchase.

I have found it better though not to use the software they provide with the
drive.

I just use it like a big volume on my pc.

External drives are usually formatted in FAT32 file systems.

I like them because you can unplug them and take them along with you if you
need to.

Also if you have allot of pictures it is a great place to store them and
have your screen saver access it from there.

Keeps your main drive from getting bogged down with files

Ileen:

Any particular reason for using an external vs an internal hard drive? I am
using a second internal hard drive and running XP Media Center along with
JFW 7, 8, & 9, with no problems.

You could always burn the data to a CD as a backup instead of using an
additional hard drive..

Hi,
I would like to get an external Hard Drive to back up files from my home 
computer.    Can anyone recommend  one that will not cause a problem with 
JFW?

I am using Windows XP and JFW version 8.

Thanks,
