I love the backup and restore built into Vista <when it works>. BTW I am
running Vista Ultimate.
I have a single Hard drive with two partitions. C drive has Vista and D
drive has all my programs installed. When vista was first installed, it was
updated and D drive was formatted. At that time I made an image on a DVD
being careful to insure both the OS and D drive was included in the backup.
The backup went smoothly without any issues and was verified. I then
proceeded to install programs on D drive.
After approximate a month of playing around and learning how to use Vista.
I had many so many changes, but had gained considerable knowledge for using
Vista. Vista had gotten balky and slow, so I decided to put the initial
backup image back and reinstall the programs that I wanted so that Vista
would run smoothly.
The restore seemed to go perfectly, but it seems that the OS drive was
restored perfectly, but D drive still had the install information on it. I
though NO BIG deal. I proceeded to format D drive again and started to
install programs.
After all the programs were installed, I went to make another backup image
as before. When it got place to insert a disk, I did . I got this popup:
"This Media is not UDF. Please insert a blank disk in the drive." There
was a blank disk in the drive. On Computer, the blank disk was shown. I
change to another disk and even tried a different brand of disk with the
same results.
If possible, I would like to what caused this and how to fix it.
I can backup to a secondary drive, but that NOT really what I want to do.
Also at this time, I have notice when I go to make folder or move anything
<even copy and paste>, Vista plays 20 questions before allowing the change
to be made. This was NOT happening before. It is like I have lost my
administrative authority. I am the only user so I don't see how that would
happen. I even made a folder and tried to save a word document into that
folder and Vista would NOT let me. The only choice I had was to save it in
"Documents". Very frustrating to say the least.
How do I get my administrative authority back? I guess it could be not
having permission, but that is one thing I never learned, so I would like to
know how to do that also.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
