I cannot find any reference to a similar error on the newsgroup here, MSKB
or Google. Hopefully I am not missing something too obvious.

I needed a quick system backup so ran the full system backup to with ASR
through the backup simple wizard. The tape backup went fine, and the prompt
to enter a blank formatted 1.44MB Floppy poped up. Giving it what it asks
for, it churns the drive for a second or two and pops up a completely blank
error message as per:

Clicking 'Retry' chugs the disk cylinder again and back comes the "message".
I have tried several different blank disks, and Windows is fully able to
read from, write to, format and generally access the floppy drive.

Has anyone seen this before? I would welcome any thoughts towards a
solution.

The system:
2003 Standard
x86 (2 processors)
SP2
Fully patched & activated
Dell PowerEdge 2400

Many thanks

Chris
 
Re: NT Backup - Blank Error Message generating ASR set

A quick update on this one.

I have re-run the backup set, with verification which has passed. The
'blank' error message is still persisting after the request to enter the
floppy disk.

Thanks

Chris
