NTbackup won't target second hardisk

[SJF]

I'm trying to establish a backup routine to a second hard disk on my new
machine with NTbackup as described by Ed Bott.

However, when the Wizard gets to choices for the backup target, the only one
available is the floppy drive. Hard disk E: and DVD recorder do not show up
as choices.

Anyone have a clue how I might get the choices to appear? Except for this
bug, the suggested routine seems to be exactly what I need.

Erm... There's a "Browse" button to the right of the
dropdown. Click that, ignore the warning about the floppy
and browse to whereever you want to save the backup. DVD may
not work, unless you have packet writing software.

Cheers,

Thanks Cliff. I was too obedient to ignore the floppy warning. When I
cancelled it as you suggest, everything fell into place.
