1st backup
I just built a new computer and loaded Windows XP Pro as
an OS. I tried to do a backup using the backup utility in Windows and selected my CD burner as a destination for the backup. When I click to proceed w/the backup, I get a message which says: THE BACKUP FILENAME COULD NOT BE USED "D:\BACKUP.BKF". PLEASE INSURE IT IS A VALID PATH, AND THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS. It IS a valid path and I should have sufficient access as an administrator. Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong? TIA Jack |

Jack:
"Windows Backup Does Not Back Up to CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R Devices" http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp As a workaround, backup to a folder on your hard drive and then burn it to CD. A better solution may be to invest in a more sophisticated backup program. -- randwulf57 "Jack" wrote in message ... I just built a new computer and loaded Windows XP Pro as an OS.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to tell Jack that Win XP can't use
msbackup to a CD? |
