I have got an external hard drive to backup my data. Is it safe to defrag my external drive using Windows 7 built-in disk defragmentation tool?

Yes, it is safe and usually there should be no issues. Just make sure you backup all the data in it. If you do not feel comfortable using the inbuilt tool, you can use many 3rd party tool that are available online.

Hello I recently subscribed to yogi and filled out a username and password however when I went to sign in it said my password was incorrect so I went to reset it and it took me to page where it said the page you were looking for is not here. I'm confused is my account gone? I had to use another persons email to make a new account. Sorry I know this isnt where I'm suppose to write this but I don't know what happened. However I do have a question I would like to have answered along with the previous. I recently sent a picture email to one of my friends via cell phone and then sent it to her hotmail I deleted it off my computer's hotmail through the advance settings so i can never retrieve deleted emails and deleted cell phone'memory my friend did the same (our ipod touches both have email settings working so we can retrieve emails that way as well but we erased the email of there as well) my question is even though we both ''deleted'' it off is there still a chance the email can be lingering about on our computers cells or iPod touches hard drives/servers? Please be honest I need to comp techs help with this I don't know anything about computers.

This is a following-up question asked yeasterday 11.11. About: a PSD-file which can not be opened anymore. I\'ll try my best to be more specific. I made a PSD-file in the Photoshop version called CS4. As I was informed by the previous answer the file might be corrupted. I would believe so as well, however as I choose the \'open\' obtion i Photoshop CS4, and just like in fx. Word, a window shows up and I can choose a file to open. In this window, however I can see a preview in a smaller window of what the PSD-file looks like. But when I try to open it, it starts reading the photoshop format, then stops and show a message saying: Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible whit this version of Photoshop. I find that very confusing since I used that spicific program to make this PSD-file and nothing else. And if the file was currupted, Photoshop usually can\'t show a preview of the file. I have tried a newer version of Photoshop but it gave me the same message. I hope at least a possebiity to print the file, if it is possible. The progam itself works fine with other PSD-files I've made. The PC: Every time I open it it says it can't read my profile settlings. Things happen like: my chosen background won't show up, the shortcuts is no longer there, and I can't change anything like leaving a shortcut in the deskshop, because as I open it again it is all removed, again. It is not a part of my question, but only an information. I thought it might have something to do with my problem.
