Reformat external HD and reinstall ATI 2020
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows 10. I use ATI 2020 to create an image of the laptop and save it to a Western Digital external portable My Passport HD. When creating an image recently, I had a problem and instead of slowing down and researching the problem, I hastily charged ahead and messed things up even more. I did manage to eventually create an image and save it the the portable HD but I was left with a tangled mess. I incorrectly deleted some previous images, I renamed the laptop twice and now have images for the same computer with different names, and some images from previous computers on the HD. I want to clean things up and so here are my questions;
Can I reformat the Passport HD using windows (rather than attempt to restore it to the original factory settings), uninstall and reinstall ATI 2020, and then start fresh?
If so, are there any special procedures, methods or conditions that I should be aware of?
Thank you for your time and help.
