  • Backup to an internal drive is not supported but there is a workaround in this post - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecarebackupandrestore/thread/22258a6a-3e94-4ac2-a3e7-b21683fb913c

  • I tried to apply this to my system, but not successful.  I am running XP Media Center Edition with SP2, not SP3 as I was told there were many errors with SP3.  Had to translate the instructions to my version, but not sure I did hem all correct.  Got any hints for this application using Media Center Edition?

  • The workaround should work on any supported operating system including MCE so perhaps there was an error in translation.

  • The solution would be the same on Media Center edition. Basically, it means making your PC a hub, creating a network Share on the internel drive, setting permissions on that Share for all users to be able to have full control of the Share - read/write/delete, etc - and then configuring Centralized Backup in OneCare to use the "network location" which is the path to your Share in the format:  \\computer\share\folder
