| 158244 | 2003-07-08 09:34:00 | I wish to use a RW CD for backup on my windows 2000 system. This would enable me to backup all critical files once and then do regular incremental backups. However when I try to backup to CD the "Backup" program comes up with an error message saying the D drive is not connected. The CD drive works fine otherwise and the backup program generated a restore floppy disc OK. Any ideas?? |

Also, (I can't remember how to do this in W2k), open up Device Manager (it should be somewhere in the control panel), and make sure that Windows isn't complaining about your CD-Writer with bad drivers or something. Finally, how long has this been going on? - Have you just installed the CDRW and your getting problems, or has it been installed for a year and your only getting problems now Are you able to burn other CD's (with a CD-R) either by selecting files or copying a CD? And is it External or Internal? CyberChuck |

| 158248 | 2003-07-08 12:18:00 | Correct, however, I have been told that if you use applications such as InCD (By Ahead software) you can get it to backup using that. You're better off using Nero to burn backups :-) |
