i am really irrated by this message, i have 2 hard disk C and D,
Disk D is for recovery only i tried to install backup on it but for some reason it keeps saying checking for backup disk, i deleted everything in the disk, that gave me a total of 14.6GB, i don't know if that is enough or not but i am thinking there might be hidden file or something in the disk since i updated computer from vista to windows 7? (my computer cd tray is broken so there is no way i can store my file outside of computer)
1.is 14.6 enough for windows 7 backup?
2.if not how do i get rid of this message?

i have 2 hard disk C and D,

NOPE YOU ONLY HAVE ONE HARD DRIVE...the d partition was a recovery partition that is used to put the system back to like it was the day it left the factory...

nope

if you want to do backups you can
replace the broken built in cd drive..
or buy a external usb hard drive or optical drive
or buy lots of 32 GB usb flash drives

or you can just go here to show you how To Turn Off the Automatic Backup Schedule

if you use the last option you will need to manually backup your data at regular intervals or risk losing all you data if the drive or computer dies...

yes you can backup online...but I do not use that kind of service so I don't have a clue on who's good or even what they cost...
google online backups and sift through the results... :thumbsup:
