MS BACKUP
Hi,
I have been using Microsoft backup for years. I backup to a cd-rw disk. My "main back up" job up are files I use all the time. I also have another "photo backup" job on the same disk. Today, I went to back up my files and for some reason when I hit "main backup" the program begins, then I get the following error message: This media is write-protected. Remove the write protection or insert another media to continue The odd thing is if I select the "photo backup" job everything runs fine. I even put in a new cd and the same things happens..... Another odd thing is that on the windows knowledgevase page it says that cd-rw is not supported with MS BACKUP. Any ideas? Thanks, Bill |

It doesn't support a CDRW as they were not available in 1995 when MS started
writing W98. I suggest you use the software that came with the burner (Easy CD, Nero, etc.) -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ...
