Used to use it for backing up office logs and the like before saving these same files in the TXT format to the MS/WIN side of the hard drive. Used to have the original, a back up, plus a second backup, but no more. Can't even get access to the Lexar memory card at this point, and once again, today I noted the following error message .. "PARTITIONS SECTOR #1919505958 AND SECTOR #538989391 (666GB) ARE OVERLAPPING!"
