Solve : Maxtor OneTouch III USB 2.0 {back-up to 'F' failed}??

Answer»

I'm having problems backing up files to my external drive.
I get this message when I hover the cursor over the Maxtor icon in the SYSTEM tray; "Backup to F {SN:L42AYZCG} failed!!".
I can't find anything wrong in the settings.
In Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager > DISC Drives > Maxtor OneTouch III USB Device;
in the Device Status box it say's:
Quote

"This device is working properly.

If you are having problems with this device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter."

I find no problems when running troubleshooter, driver is up-to-date and I TRIED un-installing and re-installing software with no joy.
What can I do next?
I'm running Dell Dimension 3000, Pentium 4, 80GB Ultra ATA/100 7200 HD, Maxtor OneTouch III 200 GB USB 2.0 external HD,
Windows XP home SP-2 build 2600
Thank's,
Mike

I'm sure you found your answer, but in order for mine to work, a password had to be created on the device. Make sure it is in your startup so that you "unlock" it each time or the backup will not run. I found this looking into another issue is the reason it is NEARLY a year later!!!!

Thanks,

James
