Trying to backup a client (MCE-2005) and keep getting failure messages:
ASUS K8N (3000+ w 2g memory), 3 hard drives:
C:\ System Drive (80g drive with 31g used) PATA (channel 1 primary)
D:\ My Documents Drive (80g drive with 66g used) PATA (channel 1 secondary)
E:\ My Media Drive (320g with 228g used) SATA channel 3
All device drivers are current - OS is current on both machines - router has latest firmware.
During my 1st backup attempt all 3 drives were configured - Drive C: was backed up, but failed on both D: and E: - Tried again several times with the same results.
Changed configuration - only trying to back Drive D: - process keeps failing at 13%
Wondering why Drive C: is able to backup but not the other 2 drives...
[And when it fails at 13% - the client locks up - can't use mouse or keyboard. Eventually system reboots on its own]. WHS however does not immediately recognize that the client has locked up / rebooted - it takes a few minutes until it updates itself and reports the backup failure.]
Have read about running diskcheck on the drives - no problems found.
Have read about possible problems with nVidia ATA controller issues - I believe I'm using the latest nForce3 250 chipset drivers.
Have read about possible problems with NIC communications - am using 10/100 cards/router (not a 1000 hardware environment, yet). Would consider this a primary area of concern - but then why does Drive C backup work?

Wondering why the C:\SYS backup works and the two data drives fail
