   I have a 320 GB internal hard drive and I just bought an external Buffalo HD-CE500U2. I backed up some of my files to the Buffalo external drive. I must not understand the program. I bought the Buffalo external drive to hold my documents in and now says drive full so I cannot add to my backup. I need to get a new internal hard drive before it tottally quits on me.  Anyone know what I am doing wrong??Thanks !

Yano,

when you formatted the device did you format it to NTFS or Fat32.  How many gigs are you getting to before it says it full.  If its around 4-5 then its formatted to FAT32 and you need to reformat it to NTFS.

   Thanks JoshC for your reply.I formated to NTFS I believe. it has 465GB used. I have one backup job performed. My internal harddrive is 320GB.
