| Full Computer Backup - Can't Deselect the Drive D: Hi all, I have Vista 64bit installed on drive C:. When I go to Full Computer backup the Drive D: is also automatically selected and there is no way of deselecting it. In the list in parenthesis it shows it as (System) even though that drive is clearly NOT a system drive. Is there ANY way to disable this drive from being backed up because with it being 1TB in size and almost full - I definitely do not want to be backing it up. I just wish to create a nice clean Full computer backup of my Vista 64bit Installation.      |

| Re: Full Computer Backup - Can't Deselect the Drive D: Yea I could use that but sincerely nothing restores Vista faster to my drive than it's own Restore from the CD. That's why I wish to make a backup with it... "telwat" wrote: [color=blue] > > Use a third party image backup program for your drive C: > > > -- > telwat >[/color] |

[/color][/color] Vista gives you no option except "full computer backup" . That is why you cannot deselect any drive at all.
