UNABLE TO BACKUP PC IN WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE

Windows Vista >> UNABLE TO BACKUP PC IN WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE ;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,

Windows Vista >> UNABLE TO BACKUP PC IN WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE 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.

Windows Vista >> UNABLE TO BACKUP PC IN WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE I must have a really messed up Vista Ultimate system because it allows me to
make a complete system backup to DVD.

Success is relative. The greater the success, the more relatives

Sorry Carey,
