Default WantChange Location of CompletePC Backup

Hi All,

I'm running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with Service Pack 2. I want to do a
CompletePc Backup (image of C drive) and save it on my external hard drive.
Previously, I have saved several image backups to my second internal hard
drive, but don't have enough space to do another backup. But when Vista
searches for a location for the backup, it only allows me to use the second
internal hard drive and won't give me the option of using the external
drive.

1. How can I force Vista to use the external drive? Is there a registry
hack? Do I have to delete all previous image backups from my second
internal drive? I tried moving the files for the previous backups to my
external drive, but Vista would then only allow me to use the DVD drive,
which would take over 100 DVDs.
2. As a second option, how do I start over with creating a completePC
backup? I assume that I need to delete the previous backup files and
probably some files in the Windows folder, etc. as well as some registry
entries.

Thanx, Key Bored.
