Lost my external hard drive

Question

I reformatted my LaCie external hard drive and now Live One backup says it is either not connected or it can't find the device. I can see it when I go to Computer and it is in J. When I click on J it says This folder is empty. I did the reset of my back up plan and still nothing. I have Vista and am getting ready to install Windows 7 Home Premium and I want to do a full back first. Thanks

In addition to your OneCare backup, I suggest that you use the Easy Transfer Wizard as the primary method for saving your account information and data. The OneCare backup can then serve as a failsafe.
