MS VISTA can be annoying at times. I recently purchased a new computer with VISTA already installed and one of those MyBook external drives. Originally, I bought the drive to transfer my photos and audio files from one computer to another.

That worked out pretty well. Almost all of the files have been moved. Laziness is the reason why I haven't finished the task.

I then decided to use the backup utility with VISTA to backup my audio, photos and some other documents. First time or two it worked perfectly. Then I started getting a non-descriptive error about the MyBook having bad sectors on it.

After a while I did a check disk on it and there was on errors.

The backup utility is working fine again. Go figure!
