Can't backup to E:

Hey guys
So Im trying to backup with Windows on my HDD, but it says "a system image cannot be saved to this location". However, the backup worked before.
Any solutions? Im trying to backup everything before upgrading to Win8 (using Win7 Ult)
BTW, i have a separate SSD as boot drive (C: and D

Thanks

How much data is on the drive your trying to backup and how much space is left on the drive your trying to backup to?

techgeek :

Well I'm trying to back up everything as I said, which is about 80GB from SSD, 200GB from HDD itself (50GB previous backups) . There's 750GB space left though...

And how would I use the backup in Windows 8 to restore my files and programs?

Is the drive you are backing up to an external drive? If so can you access the files on that drive?

Nope, it's an internal drive. And yea, I can, it's perfectly functional

Are you sure you aren't doing anything different than you did last time? It could be possible that there is a permissions problem on the location your trying to write the image to.

Well I just selected more things to backup

The backup ran finally, but it says "some files were skipped"...

What kind of files?
