    Hi Sharif,

    I am running Windows 8.1 on a Samsung Series 9 ultrabook.  I am having the same "reconnect your drive" problem in File History.  I think here is where my problem began (bear with me if the information below isn't relevant):

    In July I found that windows was backing up to SkyDrive too much (and too often) so I googled the problem, and found the solution (uninstalling and reinstalling SkyDrive).  The problem seemed to be solved, but then Windows Notification kept asking me to "reconnect my drive".

    File History was associated with SkyDrive, but now there is a message: "File History Doesn't Recognize This Drive".  Under the file path, it reads (in italics): unknown error.

    Under my user account, I have two SkyDrive folders, one of them has the extension (.old).

    I don't know what Windows is actually asking me to do.  Can you clarify what's going on here?

    I am also getting this message and when I go through the motions and try to select a drive it tells me none can be found. History Files is on and trying to send drive E. Cant get my wireless printer to work on either of my computers running 8.1. Both printers set up and when I send files it loads up my printer with jibberish.

    I also did run a backup on external drive. After reading this last post. I see that I needed to plug it back in and tell it to save.

    Hopefully this is the fix.

    Thanks
