trouble with Windows Backup ...
hi all, a few days ago i thought i would "shrink volume" to do the Dual partitioning stuff that is very clearly explained elsewhere, i couldnt "shrink volume", it told me i have to "check for errors", and then that program wouldnt run, i selected to run CHKDSK at Start up, that wouldnt run either etc. etc. so i gave up on the idea.
Today i thought i would do my FIRST BACKUP using the Windows official program, i looked out an external usb drive with enough room, started BACKUP, after an hour or so it finished telling me it had skipped some files i saved the error report which i will attach , so all in all it doesnt look very good, my hard drive is possibly crap, i have previously tried to fit a new hard drive, but my ComPAQ LAP TOP didnt like it, i thought there might be some protection against invalidating warranty or similar built in !! or it looked for the recovery partition etc. goodness me, i just dont know.
