Following an email from Barry the problem is solved.
To quote Barry-- "Are you right clicking the AISBackup shortcut and choosing 'Run as administrator'?"
I wasn't, as that step is not necessary with XP. Doing the right click etc it worked pefectly.
Thanks Barry.

Problem backing up Windows 7 partition
I’ve used AISBU to back up a variety of XP installs on my PC and on my EEEPC. All these have been problem free. I have now installed Windows 7 RC to make my PC dual boot with XP. I successfully installed AISBU on the Windows 7 partition but on running it to backup the Win 7 partition it completed wi...

Is a Bootable Restore USB Drive possible ?
I've installed AISBU on my eeepc 701 (4 + 8 GB) running a stripped down XP, & it's perfect for this machine because of its small footprint.
But the eeepc does not have a CD drive, so my question is - Can a Recovery flash drive be made as an alternative to the Recovery CD ?

Restore All Sessions or Latest - Is there a difference ?
I've done 3 session backups of my C Drive & now if I go to Restore the default highlight is "All Sessions" If I wish to restore the latest backup should I proceed from "All Sessions" or should I pick "Session 3" to restore. Are these options the same ? If not what i...

Hmm, that's a shame and a surprise, for I am sure that for some earlier backup software this wasn't the case. With the old Powerquest Drive Image, the installation CD acted as a rescue/restore program independent of Windows although it was not possible to run a backup from it. And with Acronis I thi...

Restore CD & Microsoft AIK
I have used AISBU successfully on my multi boot PC to copy a partition image from one partition to another as discussed in another post on this forum.. Now I wish to use AISBU to back up my single boot laptop to an external drive & create a Recovery CD for restore if there is a disaster. Finding...

Many thanks for all your help. I hope it might encourage some others to try the method. It is certainly quicker than a fresh install if using a dual boot system when you haven't got a good copy of the main partition. I have made life a little less confusing by using a freeware program hidedrv.exe to...
