Can the michrosoft back up wizard back programs up
directly to a cw re write drive. Or do you have to back
things up say to a desk top folder. then write them to
the disk using the re writer. I can back up directly to a
floppy disk but have problems with the cw rw drive.
Message comes up. The back up file name could not be
used "E:\Michrosoft.bkf" Please ensure it is a valid path
and that you have sufficent access. choose a place to
save your back up. Can anyone explain please. Thanks
Ray.
