Message: [QUOTE="Stan Hilliard, post: 13692972"] For a long time computer freezups and unresponsive programs have prevented me from making backups. My Physical Hard Drives: 1) 500 GB RAID 0 hard drive contains C: 2) 250 GB hard drive contains N:. 3) 1 TB hard drive Here is what happened when I tried to make a backup of C: partition on drive 1 to N: on drive 2 using Windows Backup. The computer was running in safe mode with msconfig set to disable services and startups.
