There is no limit to how many times you can recover files from the Rebit drive. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/restore-on-different-computer#post-706 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:22:55 +0000 billbloggs 706@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>Further to my earlier post I have now gained access to the Rebit backup hard drive. Reluctantly when given the choice to 'browse' or 'instal' I opted to instal hoping it would not add to my difficulties. Once the Start bar frog icon appeared I right clicked then 'open' and in I went. I was then faced with the choice of two operating system icons which obviously represent the old and new. It is possible that the facility whereby you can retrieve files to a second computer only performs the one time at least that has been my experience however I can now come and go at will so problem solved and hope this helps if you strike a similar difficulty. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/restore-on-different-computer#post-705 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 23:50:25 +0000 billbloggs 705@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>After a computer upgrade I am selectively copying files from the Rebit backup hard drive to the new XP operating system, or at least I did the other night, however now I progress to step#4 and having pressed 'browse' the rebit icon colours blue but the hard drive does not open. There has been no change take place that would impact on Rebits performance and its HD is obviously recognised and seen by the computer.<br /> How do I prompt the Rebit hard drive to open? </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/restore-on-different-computer#post-527 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:09:05 +0000 bfancher 527@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>I followed the instructions above for copying files from an XP computer to a new Windows 7 computer. I can get through #4 above easily, but when I double-click on My Rebit system folder on the Windows 7 computer, nothing happens. I would have thought the folders that were backed up would be visible. It shows the Rebit Drive using 385 GB so I know something is there. I just can't access it. Thanks for your help. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/restore-on-different-computer#post-369 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:38:26 +0000 Admin 369@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>The Rebit software has a feature that allows you to connect the device to the second computer and simply browse the files on the device.

I have the cable and hard drive and Rebit disk. I would like to recover some of the files on the hard drive and copy them to my computer in NJ but cannot seem to get it done. I need some help in doing this. I do not want to take everything off the present computer to copy the entire HD and erase my present info. Thanks. </p>
