Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all updates applied. The from computer received
a new C: hard drive about the time this started.

When I attempt a backup from the #2 computer with new hard drive to the 2nd
hard drive on the #1 computer, as I have done for years, I receive this
error after a few minutes of processing, the backup process stops with this:



Drive Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to
media.

Error reported: Unknown Error.

There may be a hardware or media problem.

Please check the system event log for relavant failures.



This is one of the entries from the Event Properties for an applicable
event:



{Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file


\Device\LanmanRedirector. The data has been lost. This error may be caused
by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to
save this file elsewhere.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, and I'll thank you afterwards also...

Problem solved. In spite of the fact that I continually recommend folks not
use registry cleaners, I realized that all problems stemmed from the time
that the c: drive was replaced. The Maxtor program that copied the contents
of the old and restored to the new screwed up 632 registry entries. I let it
Registry First Aid repair all.


Thanks to all that took the time to read this.

I believe that my original post included the information (or lack thereof)
in the Event Properties
