Starting with a blank Toshiba externql drive

Thread needs solution

I have a Toshiba external drive on which all files have been deleted. When I tried to use Acronis Image Home 2011 to back up my computer's hard dive onto the Toshiba, I got an error message asking me to insert the "archive media".

How can I solve this since I don't know what is meant by the "archive media".

Jeffrey,

It is possible that ATI 2011 is trying to put the backup on another drive.
To make sure 2011 sees your drive, in the main program window, click on Disk and Partition Backup, for example, and verify that the destination is actually your Toshiba drive.
If it is not, click on the destination, choose "browse" and in the left panel of the browsing window, navigate to your desired hard drive.

If the drive had a lot of file deletions, you might want to check the disk for disk errors before you start using it again.

From the command prompt. x=letter assigned to the toshiba
chkdsk x: /r
