I recently installed the Backup Wizard from Xp Home Edition cd because I
wanted to backup an entire partition to an external hard drive. I selected
the drive in the Wizard, started a backup, but when it got to 4 gig of backup
I received the message that a backup file cannot exceed 4 gigs and, also,
stating that the operation failed. Is there any way around this limitation
using Backup? How can one backup an entire drive with a limitation of 4
gigs? Eventually, I just copied the partition to the external drive by using
copy and paste in Windows Explorer. However, that took quite some time. (I
have Norton System Works with the Clone Disk feature, but for some reason it
is stating that the device I am attempting to copy to is not present and that
additional drivers may need to be installed. Odd, and not understandable by
me as Windows recognizes the drive and the copying of the partition files was
accomplished without a problem doing it the way I did it.)
Any help rendered would be appreciated.
