Quicken Backup (Part 2) Don 07-19-2007

 I started a new subject because the other one was getting nowhere. I guess
because I did not make myself clear. So I want to start over again and just
ask a simple question.

I have one hard drive which is the C: drive. I have two external hard
drives which are K: drive and L: drive.

I CANNOT backup to any of these hard drives. And this time I am talking
about from having Quicken 2003 open and trying to backup from INSIDE the
program.

Am I supposed to be able to back up to a hard drive? You would think that I
could certainly backup to the C: hard drive, but I can't even do that. A
message pops up and says "Unable to access the disk in drive C: Please make
sure the drive is ready and the disk is not write protected." (of course
it's ready and it is not write-protected). The same message for Drives K:
and L:.




Okay that is the question. Now ... I have a floppy drive A:, I have an
Iomega Zip Drive J:, and I have an external N: drive which accommodates a
memory stick (a USB flash stick). I can backup to any of those. They all
have media ... a floppy disk, or a Zip disk, or a flash USB stick. Backing
up to those is not problem. So I repeat, should I be able to backup to a
hard drive?

When this issue is settled, then I have other questions.

Thanks,
Don

 Don:

If you have your 2003 install CD AND subsequent patches, you could always
try re-installing, or installing a newer version of Quicken and see if the
problem persists.
You can download trial versions of 2007 at Quicken.com.
