I have WHS up and running ang a total of 8 computers/laptops attached. All the machines execpt one laptop backup successfully. I have run scandisk, chkdsk and defrag on the laptop and all is well. I have checked the partition tables in Paragon and partition magic and they all say its ok. I have disabled the anti-virus. I have ghosted the disks, reformatted the disks using XP and ghosted the image back. I have uninstalled the whs connection software and even tried reinstalling it without the disk, just going directly to the software on the server.
The lap top is made by Time, and the volumes are both ntfs. It must have something to do with this laptop as all other machines are ok, also everything else works fine in regard to connecting from the lap top to the server and all other machines.
If anyone can help I would appriciate it.

Any chance you have some portion of Ghost left over on your system (which can affect VSS)? Can you open a command prompt and type
vssadmin list writers and
vssadmin list providers, then post the results here?
