Hi Rick tried what you said but I got the same message again when I tried to
put back up onto a disk. "The last backup failed" was the message that came up, any more ideas. -- Bryan "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, You may want to read this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952272 -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "m0gbf" wrote in message ...

Hi,
What/where are you trying to backup to? And also, to be clear, are you talking about Backup and Restore or System Restore? They are two totally separate processes. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "m0gbf" wrote in message ...

Hi,
First off, the SP2 pack is still beta and should not be used by the average person. Wait for the final release unless you are prepared to format the system and do a fresh install of Windows. What you should be doing is a backup of your data files. Despite claims to the contrary, I find it best to simply copy data from the hard drive to DVD, CD, or thumb drive and not rely on the rather convulated backup and restore processes (either those provided by Windows or a third-party product). This way, the data can be recovered by any operating system and you are not reliant on any specific software to recover your data. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "m0gbf" wrote in message ...
