This arvo 'Young' Dave(Member Dave B(NSW)) and his good wife dropped in for a cuppa on their way home to the Hill from the Big Smoke.

So we got chatting about my new purchase, the Acer Aspire One and mapping and my post last night and Dave said "What's that?" pointing at my external Hard Drive. "Doh!?" Yerrrrr... sometimes it defies logic how dumb one can be...LOL

So we stuck the 2 x Natmap discs into the desktop and then transferred the contents to the external HD and then when that was done, connected the latter up to the Acer and downloaded from there and now I am happy to report, that the mapping which I required, is working fine.

Thanks Dave. Yer a genius!

Cheers

Glad I could help Willem.

By the way, I could not believe all the folders you had for you stuff on the backup drive, I am sure Office Works would not have as many folders in their shop as what you have got.

But you are really well organised with your backups, good stuff.

Young Dave....................................

LOL

We have two computers, each one with a fair amount of stuff stored in it. At least 10,000 photos, website material, Genealogy stuff, Art stuff, heaps of 4x4 stuff.

I have organised MY DOCUMENTS to contain only 35 major Folders. Each folder has its own folders. For instance the 4x4 one had 35 folders and 25 other documents. A lot of research goes into any project. Like next years winter trek, has 42 documents relating to it, so far...lol.

To ISZUMU

You will have to tell it to install it to there as programs usually install by default to C:/programs
When the disk starts it should give a box asking where you want to install it to. If it does make a new folder on your external drive and then tell it to put it there. Not to hard but if you do that u will have to have the external hooked up to run it.
Usually better to have them on C: and put Data only on external drives.
