687250 2008-07-10 02:48:00 Hi Folks. Running Vista Home Premium, SP1, with 2 GB ram.
I have a second hard drive to which I want to run the incremental backup of my data. (The C drive programmes are safely exported via Acronis.)

When I go through the Control Panel to backup the data, the system asks where I want to backup to and offers all drives except the second hard disk (in this case drive D).

I can manually see drive D: and even drag and drop folders and files to it - it shows up in Windows Explorer - just does not offer in Vista'a backup process. Any clues please.....
