I have two identical HDDs, one that I use, and one that I save system Image backups to. However, I selected all the files on that backup drive and deleted them, and now I am unable to save image backups or system restore files. Under disk management, I see partitions are created on both drives.

Attempting to create a restore point is met with this message:
"The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error may not reoccur. (0x800423F3)"


I Have Windows 8.1 64Bit. Please help!



Notes:
-The backup drive (viewed under devices and drivers) is completely empty.
-Computer functions normally
-May be unrelated, but I am unable to install Geforce driver 352.86 after I deleted the backup HDD.

I'd like to suggest another backup option for your consideration. Rather than using System Image and/or System Restore, consider using a disk-cloning program to create comprehensive backups of your system. Through the use of a simple, easy-to-use disk-cloning program you will have at hand what amounts to a bit-for-bit copy of your working HDD or SSD. A clone that is immediately bootable & completely functional without any need for some recovery-type operation and where the entire contents of your source drive can be immediately accessed. Does that hold any appeal for you?

Consider the advantages. Should your OS become corrupt and dysfunctional or should your boot drive become defective and completely fail, you have the means to restore...

Consider the advantages. Should your OS become corrupt and dysfunctional or should your boot drive become defective and completely fail, you have the means to restore your entire system to a bootable, functional state and do so easily & quickly. What better backup system can one have?

Your "destination" drive (the recipient of the clone) can be either installed internally or externally as a USB device in your system. With the *right* kind of disk-cloning program you can perform frequent/routine backups of your entire system reasonably quickly and thus maintain up-to-date total system comprehensive backups, avoiding the need for any other "recovery-type" methodologies.
