Backup on one machine fails at 52%

Question
-
I had a Windows 7 64 bit machine backing up regularly for the last year. I recently had the system die and because it was my son's machine and may have been virus related, I decided to reinstall Windows 7 as a new install, but kept the windows.old files on the C drive. Now I've reinstalled everything, I have the connection software, but when I go to do a backup of the C drive, it fails after locating clusters that have changed. I will cut and paste the error below, but other information that has me baffled. I have the main drive partioned into two drives. One called Recovery which has the Alienware files for a default installation and then the C drive which has the OS on it. When running the backup, it will complete successfully if I uncheck the C drive and it will backup the recovery drive and any USB drives that I have connected. It only crashes when it tries to backup the C drive.
Any ideas?

Can I ask why you did a fresh install rather than a WHS restore?
