total file one my computer to the external maxtor drive.!!!!

Is your file system Fat32 or NTFS because if it's Fat32 you can only do a maximum 4GB backup.

What program did you use to "duplicate" your drive. What I believe you are
trying to do is image [often referred to as ghosting] your entire Hard Drive
for possible restoration use. I do not believe the Restrospect program that
used to [and may still] ship with Maxtor One Touch external drives provides
that capability. Acronis True Image and Norton's Ghost will.
