Windows back up utility not working

[bluebottle]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

When I try to make a back up of my C:/ drive selecting 'All information on
this computer' to my d:/ partition the process fails with the message 'Files
for the recovery diskette could not be created. The operation was aborted'.

How can I get this to work?

Note: The utlity does work when just backing up My Documents as this action
does not require the creation of a Recovery disk.

Hi Bluebottle,

If you are running Home Edition, have a look at this MSKB article, "An Error
Message Is Displayed When You Attempt to Use the Automated System Recovery
Wizard":

Thanks Patti

This certainly allows me to back up more than before.
