Alternating automatic backups between two external hard drives by John K[_3_]
I have weekly backups going automatically to an external hard drive and just installed a second external hard drive with the idea of creating alternate backups midweek. The setup routine for automatic backups seems to allow only one destination. Is there a way of establishing a second automatic backup to a different destination than the first?

DVD RW Drive won't read CD's or DVD's (HELP!!) by BrentC
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium and the DVD RW drive won't work. It's been working fine for over a year and all of a sudden it makes a God-awful sound when you put a disk in. The spinning-grinding sound goes on for a while then stops, but the disk is still unreadable. I am able to eject the disks using the button on the drive.
