Until recently I backed up Quicken 2007 on to a Western Digital Portable
Hard Drive. For the past week I have been unable to back up Quicken data to
my WD Hard drive. When I try, a window pops up stating, "the disk is not
ready." Yet, I can copy and delete files on my WD HD which seems to be
operating normally, except with Quicken. Also I can backup Quicken to any of
my Flash drives without problem. Is this a Qucicken, hard disk or Vista
quirk?

Can anybody recommend a fix to restore the WD HD as a backkup device for
Quicken?

You would probably be better off posting in a Quicken newsgroup.

Are you sure that the drive letter of your WD HD hasn't changed.
If you plug it into a USB port the drive letter may change.
Make sure that the letter in windows explorer is the same letter that you
have specified as your back-up in your Quicken options.
