I have a 1.5 TB external Seagate drive connected thru eSATA to my Fios DVR. The drive has performed fine for over a year and recently started to show signes of problems.
I want to replace this external drive without loosing all the stored programming while I still have access to its contents.
Is it possible to copy the contents of the old external drive to a new external drive and continue to use it?
I purchased a 2 TB drive for this purpose. My initial attempt at making a copy was unsuccessful, and after a reformat I was able to get the 2 TB drive to be recognized but blank.
