I'm wortking on a dell inspiron 1720 laptop. Trying to do a full backup, using any backup sofware, the system will hang at about the 40-50% spot. I tried several different programs, Acronis 2010, Easeus To_Do 2 and some others. All reaxc in the same way. After forcing it to shut down and restart, I will sometimes get a chkdsk but it seems to find nothing.

Also tried running chkdsk manually, same result. Alternately, I ran the machine diagnostics from the bios and still nothing. The owner of the machine has not done backups so the ony one he has is 2 years old.

Any ideas?? I really hate to have to start over.:confused:

(Have to check my spelling next time!!) Tis did help some. Turns out the drive is a Toshiba and they do not supply diagnostics. I am using the Seatools one in generic mode, so far nothing found.
