backup
How much you have free is useless information without knowing the size of
the data that your backing up. Not to mention that we have no clue what "D" represents, hard drive, partition, DVD burner? -- -- "shepbev" wrote in message ... Says D:\ doesn't have enough room for backup. How do I increase I have over 40 gigs free. Thanks Bev

40 GB is hardly enough for a backup. My guess is your D drive is a recovery
partition and you should not be saving **anything** to it. Get yourself an external hard drive. You can get a 500 GB drive for well under $100. "shepbev" wrote in message ... Says D:\ doesn't have enough room for backup. How do I increase I have over 40 gigs free. Thanks Bev

That's far and away the poorest form of backup there is. It is always possible that a hard drive crash, user error, nearby lightning strike, virus attack, even theft of the computer, can cause the loss of everything on your drive. If your data is important to you, back up to external media that is not kept attached to the computer. I recommend buying an external disk drive. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
