I want to use an External Hard Drive to store my quilting patterns and embroidery designs on. Now, I'm usually computer savvy but I'm hitting a blank wall on this one. Do I just hook up the EHD and then how do I tell it each time to save to the EHD? I also want to work off the EHD when I pull up patterns and designs and I also want to save EQ6 on the EHD. I'm using XP Pro and IE7. My laptop is getting slower and slower and I'm trying to eliminate so much artwork on the Hard Drive.
Any suggestions? I'm so like lost on this one!
Thanks!

That is the way my external hard drive is too.

And I should have added that to pull something from the EHD, you will reverse the procedure. You will click "Open" and then look for "f" (or whatever letter you have assigned to it) and then choose what file you want to open.
