    My entire Vista system hangs immediately after I insert the second blank DVD. I'm doing a simple backup of my user files. I'm using Vista Premium standard Backup/Restore utility. System is up to date with patches, minimal software installed because this system is 100% used as a Media Center. Hardware is off the shelf HP Media Center m8067n.

     

    N.B. Similar backup worked this January. Backup spanned over 3 DVD's.

     

    I checked Microsoft knowledgebase and no other similar cases popped up. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi,

    Could you please open Event Viewer and check whether there is any error, then post the information.

    I'm very frustrated too, as I have a problem with the backup since January. For a while it worked again, as I set the Backup for daily, but today again I had some errors:

    "The Backup did not complete successfully"
    A shadow copy could not be created for the following reasons: The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation. (0x8004230F)

    I started a few new disks, as I thought this could be the problem and it did not work. As I could see in other forums, people have lots of problems with Window Vista Home Premium, 32 bits. Hope this problem can be solved soon. Thanks
