I have exact same problem, Using Windows 7 and Xp on the same macahine. I've been working on it for 2 days now and can't find a solution and so far have'nt came accross anyone in any forum who has encounterd this. The weird thing about this one is that Windows 7 backup rejects my backup device but reconises my hard disk, yet disk manager does the opossite. I suspect the conflict may be that to run xp on Windows 7 drive you have to set your hdd in bios to compatabillity mode, and also that to run 2 OS's on one disk can cause a drive letter conflict if sharing files between both OS's from a third partition. If i get to the bottom of it I'll let you know or if you have found a workaround or anyone else can help please put me out of my misery. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba satalite pro l450d OS windows 7 ultimate 32 bit CPU amd sempron Memory 2 gig Graphics Card ati Sound Card realtech |

oh btw if your desprate to back up your machine as i am, you can use the XP backup console as an emergancy messure, you are backing up the fault aswell but maybe there will be a fix in the near future. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba satalite pro l450d OS windows 7 ultimate 32 bit CPU amd sempron Memory 2 gig Graphics Card ati Sound Card realtech |
