Linda, Try programs > my computer
Highlight C/local drive Go to file menu bar and click on properties. Under tools tab, first option is scan. Hit enter and be sure you check the box to find and correct all errors and not for the option to check for bad clusters in/on the drive. Hit enter, you'll get an error saying not able to be done. It will ask if you want to do this upon your next restart/reboot, click on yes. Do a cold or total shutdown/restart. Let the computer remain off for about a minute or two before you restart the pc. The scan should begin and the operating system will boot only after the scan is completed.

Could this now be because after finally getting Windows XP Version 5.01.260 Service Pack 3 downloaded and installed on my system- what I have on my original disk my system does not like anymore? Or is my computer just being finicky? Can the backup file be found some place else?

I have only had winxp for a couple of years now- I can still not find out how to Back-up my system with XP. I don't know of any way to back up a computer using only the Windows OS. I have used Norton Ghost and other programs that create a full copy of the C: partition. The destination can be another partition on the same drive or an external hard drive. Even a DVD-R or RW. or a dual layer disk. Of course the disk has to have enough empty space to handle the whole C: partition plus some extra space.
