I want to install the Acronis True Image program to the Ext HD, as 'insurance' to clone the content of my Notebook, its systems, functions, settings etc.I'm also presuming that the new Ext HD will need to be 'hardlined' and powered on, only while I want to use the programs etc on it, and when doing updates via IE7.Once the Ext HD is installed, is it possible to just do a 'drag and drop' of programs, from the C: Drive, across to the new ?: Drive? Am I able to designate or give the new Ext HD a name? eg.I intend to add the HD to take some pressure off my ACER C: Drive, by moving some programs that I have on it, to the Ext HD.

I want to install and add both of the above to my current setup, but am uncertain about the best way to go about achieving a successful result.I need advice and recommendations, and any pitfalls to avoid, to ensure that I end up with a trouble-free install and operating system. NOTE: See system specs below for my current setup. Install and setup Maxtor One Touch 4, 500GB External Hard Drive, and install Acronis True Image Home Program
