My OS is WinXP Prof. I have previously backed up my C drive to another
drive. I tried to back up a second time but got error message that backup
was too large and the backup drive was FAT 32. I converted the backup to
NTFS and deleted a bunch of mp3 files so the My Docs folder is now about 2
G. I tried to back up again, but got message that file was too big. I
checked help box and got message "End of Media encountered while backing up
to non-removable media"

Why am I getting this message, I show 24G of available space on the second
drive?

This KB applies to the server side NT back-up but may apply to you.
Seems like more space is used for backup then you'd expect.

Hope this get's you going in the right direction.
