Windows 7: Backup error: Server execution failed (0x80080005)

delete the 31 MB OEM partition

on you C: drive have the drive label name something other than C like this...... OS Drive C:

so you are doing a triple boot

so it looks like disk 1 held an OS at some point and was not wiped and repartioned

I actually would move what ever you have on disk 1 partition E to drive F and wipe disk 1 and resetup your partitions on that drive

on disk 0 if you are not using the Linux partitions I would wipe that disk and start from scratch there to

This is my old Dell PC hd that encased in a Masscool IDE/SATA USB drive case that I
have hooked up as a additional drive.
The Dell messed up, but I want to try to put it back in there some time. I could just
unplug it if you want.

I would then it looks like your not hurting for storage space

that drive had been flagged as C in the old PC I bet thats what is causing your problem here when plugged into this machine it was reassigned E

what about the Linux partitions

I am dual booting win 7 and ubuntu 9.10 on drive 0 - 366.70 for win 7, 91.43 for ubuntu, 7.63 for ubuntu swap file.

Drive 1 is the E: drive former Dell OS hd I mentioned in previous post. the OEM and the rest was XP pro.

Then disk 2 is the 1TB Fantom Drive I was backing up to.

ok just disconnect drive 1

reboot also

now the fantom drive will become E

now go ahead and try to setup a new backup

I am on it! Rebooting now. I'll post after I try to setup the backup.
Thanks!

Would you believe it got the same error! 0x80080005
It always looks like it is going to start up, the box appears and the green line at the bottom.
But, then the error occurs!

do you have windows defender turned on?

I don't think so. I didn't install it on Windows 7 that I know of.

I take that back. I searched for it and it informs me that It did a quick scan this morn. at 5:49.

turn it off and try backup again

also try this go to system restore and turn off system restore on all drives and reboot then retry backup don't turn system restore back on yet
