    failed back up with new western digital 3tb external hdd


    I have a failing pc. Tried to back up to new western digital 3tb drive but it won't let me. I have an Xp os that I upgraded to win 7 ultimate. I reformatted per some other forums but still no. It says the back up could not be performed because of an I/O device error. Any help would be appreciated.
