;HI

I need HELP!!



Whenever I try to do a complete backup in vista i get the following error:



"THE WRITER EXPIERENCED A NON-TRANSIENT ERROR. IF THE BACKUP IS

RE TRIED THE EROR IS LIKLEY TO RE OCCUR".

(0x800423F4)



I dont understand what to do; and do not mean to be simple minded,but isn't

the back-up supposed to occur when you hit the "start" button?

CAN ANYONE HELP?

PS the file backup works,just not the "BACKUP YOUR PC" BUTTON.



THANKS,



EDWARD B. SPERLING

You cannot perform a backup directly to a CD or DVD.

You need to create a new folder on your hard drive and

designate that folder during backup, then burn the folder

containing the backup file to a CD or DVD.

I must have a really messed up Vista Ultimate system because it allows me to

make a complete system backup to DVD.

Sorry Carey,



Like Leo, I can make a backup straight to DVD to.
