Looking for help with the Backup and Restore Center on Windows Vista
Ultimate. I had been backing up my system after each new program install,
and the process had been going smoothly... until now. I'm backing up
approximately 50GB of data from my 100GB internal drive, to a 400GB USB
external drive with over 200GB of free space on it. The process will proceed
for about 20 minutes, then stop. The error I'm getting is "A device attached
to the system is not functioning (0x8007001F)". The only references I can
find to this error on Microsoft's site are related to Video Capture cards,
but I'm not using one. In fact all other applications have been closed or
disabled prior to the attempt to backup, including my virus protection and
Windows Firewall and Defender. Yet I continue to get this error. Anyone
have any information on this error and what I need to do to get the backup to
complete?
