Hi Guys, tried to make image, using win7 ult, 64 bit. as you can see i have plenty of space. is there a simple answer please? i am not competent to tinker with registry http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq348/sgtreasure/2.jpg http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq348/sgtreasure/1.jpg thanks in advance

There is a problem with the backup included with Windows. I have tested it with USB disks and servers, both scenarios are borked. The destination storage for the Windows backup needs to be 1.5x larger than the system disk. I use 7-zip which is free and use that to backup folders as at least it works. My MVP is for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 IT, and I am getting increasingly good with Visual Studio. Developer | Windows IT | Chess | Economics | Hardcore Games | Vegan Advocate | PC Reviews

ok, thanks for the heads up, suppose i'll have to wait till it gets fixed

Microsoft sadly has to offer such software as political pressure over included software has attracted a lot of criticism. I use 7-zip as its free and its actually useful. It can run over night for a large job or in the background. There are other choices, but 7-zip is free.
