Backing up C-drive to CD-RW - backup file name not recognised
I want to back up my entire C-drive onto CD. My system
only recognises the A-drive (3.5" floppy). I've clicked on the "Browse" option and located E-drive (CD-RW) which is where I want to backup to, but then I get an error message saying "The back up file name could not be used "E:Backup04_12_03.bkf" Please ensure it is a valid path, and that you have sufficient access." Can anyone provide a solution for this please? Thanks, Tony |

You can backup to file and then copy the backup file to CD, but you will have to make the backup file less than the capacity of the CD, as you can't span CD's with the native XP burning software.
