I am trying to use the Windows XP's backup utility (start -> all programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup) to backup the whole system to another drive or a large USB flash drive to safeguard myself and the files. However, the backup utility gives error in both cases, ie. it won't backup to another drive (E:\) or usb drive.. The error is exactly like this:
Code:
Backup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: File
Media name: "WindowsXP_Backup.bkf created 5/22/2007 at 8:20 PM"
Backup Status
The files for the recovery diskette could not be created. The operation was aborted.
----------------------
The operation did not successfully complete.
----------------------
does anyone know what's happening?
regards
