Hello,
Lenovo X1 Carbon, windows 7 pro 64bit. Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. No DVD player. 500 GB External USB 3.0 Hard drive.
My backups aren't completing while using Windows Backup and Restore (WBaR). It says it can't find a folder that doesn't exist on a drive that doesn't exist(e.g. 'D:\X1\Desktop\folder_name') I have a ultrabook from Lenovo, there is no D: drive. there is the C: Drive and the Lenovo Recovery drive (Q:). However, the folder name matches a folder that WAS on my desktop ('C:\[USER]\Desktop\folder_name')the first time that I used WBaR.
At first, I thought it was that folder, so I moved it to the Recycle bin. Then I tried moving it to a documents folder. Same error. So, then I thought it had to do with Carbonite and Dropbox. So I turned both of them off. No joy.
I tried searching for a folder named X1 using the command line. No luck.
I found this support article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979281, but none of these scenarios match mine. I have exhaustively searched for someone who had a problem with a Drive letter being assigned to Windows backup that doesn't exist on their computer. But no joy.
Can anyone help me? I don't think this is serious, but it is annoying, since WBaR doesn't list when my last backup was because of the problem. Plus, I'm worried about whether it will work when I need to recover files.
