Are you using MS Backup or 3rd party program ie. Nero, Norton Ghost?

MS programs that are installed with the OS (Vista) are generally basic in
their structure and I think you will find that a 3rd party program will do a
better job, faster and with with few if any problems, personally I rarely use
installed MS programs for copying, burning, etc.

This is a personal opinion, the choice is yours.

I have tried unsuccessfully to make a complete backup. I have two new
machines from MPC, my own running Vista Ultimate and another Vista Business.
I installed the standard software, Office 2007, etc. Then I tried to make a
backup image (Complete) but when it got to the end, it said "The Backup
Failed." "The parameter is incorrect 0X80070057." The first backup was to a
second internal HD and the other to DVDs. In both cases, it failed. I have no
idea what that code meant, but I really need to make the image. Anyone know
what is happening here???

Thanks,
