cannot access drive

Thread needs solution

As I did my usual weekly backup, it stopped immediately and send the following worrying message :
"E00070021: Cannot access drive. Cannot create the image of the logical drive C: becuase it is currently in use by running application or the logical drive contains bad sectors". I need to say it was the ONLY application running. Can anyone help me and send me the solution at please. Print Screen attached.

There's never only one program running in Windows ;)

But, let's take the message it its word. If it's a disk prob, then click the start button, All Programs, then rightclick the Command or Run and select run as adminstrator. Tehn inthe window type chkdsk c: /r assuming C: is the drive in question. This will run all 5 disk scan and repair operations to fix most kinds of disk probs.

If prob persists, then it must be that some program is refusing to let ati close the open file handles.

Run msconfig.exe ( http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/ )and disable all nonmicrosoft services and all startup programs except trueimage and acronis.

if prob is gone, it's a conflict with one of the items you disabled. Trial and error adding them back with mscofnig will tell you which one.

If prob persists, try running the installer again and choose Repair or contact Chat.
