Yeah, you'll have to either copy the data onto the internal hard drive of your Mac (of there's room), and then do the cloning, or like Victoria said, get a second external drive.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>But then you'd have 3 drives. The first two can be paired so your Mac can be backed up, but if the second one is to become and archive destination for pics/movies, you'll need a 4th hard drive to be the clone of that one so that you have 2 x everything.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Darcy</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><div><div>On Feb 25, 2008, at 6:24 PM, Vincent Valdez wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Thank you all for your valuable input. What a valuable resource you are. I am using a Elements external hard drive (Western Digital). I tried SuperDuper and it gave me a message saying it was not formatted for Macintosh and that I should <b>erase the hard drive!!!!!!</b>. I guess I need to buy another ext hard drive since I have lots of video files. Any other way I can get around this?</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Vince (new intimidated Mac convert) </font></div> </div>_______________________________________________<br>DMMUG mailing list<br>Use this Address to send mail to the list:<br><a href="mailto:DMMUG@dmmug.org">DMMUG@dmmug.org</a><br>Use this page to modify subscription options:<br>http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/dmmug</blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
