I have a Seagate BlackArmor 2TB 110 NAS Drive. When I start Blackarmor Backup software on my Windows 7 Home Premium PC, I get the error "BlackArmor Backup has detected unsupported hard disk drives. BlackArmor Backup does not support Windows Dynamic Disks, EZ-Drives, etc."

I am using a Seagate 1TB HDD on my Windows 7 PC. How do I get Blackarmor Backup to work for my Windows 7 PC?

I also tried Windows 7 inbuilt backup utility but it does not detect the NAS drive though I can access the NAS drive from my Windows Explorer.

The drive I think has become dynamic

The app only supports Basic. Read this :wink:

Back up everything before changing anything
