How can I protect my portable hard drive from being corrupted if my computer crashes?

Luke Stone

I have heard that portable hard drives can be corrupted if your computer fails and you have to reboot it. so are there any precautions that I can take to stop it from doing this?

Answer
no programs or anything that i know of but the portable drives only become corrupted when power is cut, the system is reset/crashes or the device is removed while files are being changed/saved on the hard disk.

I would reccommend that when you are changing/saving something to the portable disk that you don't run too many programs or do anything to possibly interrupt the process and to eject the device then pull it out when you aren't using it.

Can I run applications off a portable hard dirve? Which portable hard drives should I buy? I want to run Dreamweaver, Net Objects Fusion or WebPage Maker from a portable hard drive.

Answer
You Can not run all of those programs on a portable drive. Check out http://portableapps.com/ for a great repository of Portable applications you can use.


- you can use any portable drive but you will want one that;
*has enough space [this should not be a problem as you can get USB Sticks fairly cheap nowadays]
*can interface quickly [ you will want USB 2.0 for the fastest load times however the computer must have USB 2.0]

Hope this helps
