I have used a Maxtor One Touch external hard drive for a couple of years to back up my data from six computers (on a copy/paste basis) This has meant I can access the data from all the computers from any computer running the Maxtor.
The Maxtor is now full so I got another one which is a Maxtor One Touch II. With this I decided to use the One Touch facility to auto back up the whole of the hard drives (not just data) from the various computers.
This has worked fine BUT I can only access the data for the computer that is currently using the Maxtor. The other backups are there but shown ‘Locked’. Hitting unlock does nothing. I have not used any passwords during the various setups.
So what am I doing wrong?
