Can not make good backup

[shakeyguy]

I am continuing my post from 4-16 due to its age.

 

I have yet to make a backup even after shortening the number of files to under a single cd's capacity.

 

Most times I appear to burn ok but when it checks itself I get error 206 repeatably after the first 1/2 or 3/4 of the cd. No warning of trouble untill I check the log.

 

I have as Zak suggested used multiple brands and types of media: at least 10 each cdr and ten cdrw's

 

I have no other devices on that internal drive harness/port.

 

INCD works fine which should eliminate drive and cable.

 

I have all background programs shut down using killitall.

 

If this might be a hint: sometimes the drive will keep blinking active and I cannot pause or quit. If I ctrl-alt-del I see retrospoect not responding. If I havn't shut it down "for test purposes" already INCD also indicates not responding. Closing them gives me the blue screen of death forcing power off shutdown.

 

HELP! PLEASE

Since you have worked with someone in Tech Support already regarding this, I suggest you call and continue to work with Tech Support on this. There could be numerous things going on.

 

 

 

Thanks.

Melissa I have not worked with anyone from tech support on this question unless they are not identifying themselves as such.

 

You, replied, ZakB replied and one man suggested KILLITALL program which I am now using.

 

I still need help if this program is ever to function for me. By the way, I am not computer illiterate but I am CD liberate.

 

To clarify one point. I can use incd with no problem and can backup smaller number of files with no trouble. Its not occurring until well into the disk.
