Mac,

Thank you for responding. Yes, I viewed those links prior to my posting
here, and they did not seems to address my specific issue. I contacted HP
(Mfg of system) and they suggest a complete recovery. I guess I'll have to
go that route.

Thanks anyway.

i had this same problem. backup failed and all subsequent attempts
resulted in the same error 0x81000101.

first it was suggested that i do a system restore from a point prior to
the backup error's first occurence. i got the same error 0x81000101 and
was unable to do the system restore.

then i turned off system restore and turned it back on. this deletes
all of the prior restore points.

then restarted the computer and the backup worked.

now i'd like to know why my backup is larger than the entire contents
of my C: and D: drives combined????
