    Hi there

    Just had a problem doing a full pc backup - I was getting the windows backup the backup failed. access is denied. (0x80070005) message, so I thought I'd pass on a tip for solving this - well the way I solved it anyway.

    I renamed the original backup folder which is normally WindowsImageBackup, on my external USB drive to WindowsImageBackup Backup and created a new backup, the new backup was successful so all is fine, until vista goes wrong...

    Anyway I just thought I'd share that, in case anyone has the same problem. :)

    Also I'm just wondering this - I've done a Vista Ultimate "full PC backup" of my system which includes the XP partition I'm now able to dual boot with.

    Will I still need to re-install XP if I need to restore my system from that backup?
