Hi guys,
I have a 1TB external HDD, FILLED TO THE BRIM with my precious backup of movies that I've collected all these years and some PC games.
My friend is insisting I dump the entire collection of movies onto his PC, but am just afraid what if any virus or spyware or some other shit that's infected his PC will screw up the data on my HDD.
Hence, I wanted to know, is there someway I can WRITE PROTECT my external HDD so that even if I connect my HDD to his PC, it can ONLY READ AND COPY/DUMP stuff off my HDD and not be able to write anything to it? I just wanna be safe.
I would really appreciate it if you guys can help me out with this
Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply
PS: My internal HDDs are full, so I can't even back it all up on my PC before giving him my external for the dump.
