tbsmith Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have the OEM express version 6.0.222 which came with the Maxtor external drive I just purchased. It is running on Windows 2000 desktop (SP4). I installed the software and drive, but I cannot make a backup at all. I get error message, 1017, insufficient permissions. I searched the archives, but this error message only seems to happen to people trying to backup from a network. I am just trying to backup the local C: drive. I am also the administrator. I've tried reinstalling the software, and disabling NAV, but no luck. I CAN however, make a duplicate but that is not what I bought this for. I've called the help desk, and got a few suggestions, but no joy so far. Thanks for any ideas! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbsmith Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I finally figured out what the problem was (on my own) so I am posting here for anyone else who may have a similar headache. It turns out I had to give full access permissions to "everyone" on the C: drive (right click on the folder (or drive), select properties, select security, and check "allow full control" for everyone). I don't know why this is so, since I am the administrator, but it was necessary for me. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
