| | Backup failed. The drive cannot find the sector requested. 0x80070 I've read all the posts on backup failure but none address my error code. So any help in what this means and how to fix? I too am trying to backup to dvd+r and this error occurs after about 5 minutes. Try again repeats the error. Am using Vista Home Premium, File Backup tool and requesting an initial full system backup on an HP Pavilion 9408nr (just purchased) |

An error occurred. The drive cannot find the sector requested. (0x8007001B)" Help please.

| | Re: Backup failed. The drive cannot find the sector requested. 0x8 Come on! This is an initial backup for a new computer. He's not backing up to just one DVD and your 300 GB hard drive is hardly full when your computer is brand new. However, I would advise that you remove all the free trial software and "bonus" programs they glut your new computer with before backing it up. Also since you may be new to Vista realize that the usual backups you make with Windows backup and restore only backup your personal files, pictures, etc. They figure you have all the installation disks for your applications (yeah, right) or were given a restore disk or have a backup in a partition on your HD to replace the programs. I don't think anyone will ever accuse the Vista developers of being practical. -- qfreed "HeyBub" wrote: Quote: > Stephen wrote: Quote: > > I've read all the posts on backup failure but none address my error > > code.
