Error message "The files for the recovery diskette could not be created. The

operation was aborted."

This is at the beginning of the operation. I understood that the prompt for

the recovery diskette is after the backup is completed.

Using SP2

    Feritay:

    Thanks for the link. It does look promising but will it allow the backup to

    proceed if the system thinks I have complied with its requirements? I'll try

    it Monday evening and see what happens. If you try it first I'd appreciate

    knowing your experience and I will post a result.

    I've given up....it looks sketchy. I'm copying Documents and Settings to a

    second hard drive and I'll reload XP and other programs from the original

    CD's when the big crash comes.
