Back & restore

When I attempt to utilize the back up function in Vista, I receive an error
message: 0x80041321. It will not let me continue. How can I rectify?

Same thing is happening to my Vista Home Premium O/S...cannot create a
restore point and get an error message telling me there is not enough room
on my disk. There is a ton of room on the C drive and the D drive is full
of backup files. It is at (0x80070070) Any ideas what to do...Need to have
a new restore point so that I can install my new HP All in One printer which
will likely mess things up again...This Vista seems pretty wobbly to me...

On my system, the D: drive is a partition of the main hard drive and is
reserved for system restore and I do not and should not be putting backup
files on that drive. I use a separate USB external hard drive as my file
backup destination.

Hello guys,
When was the last time you ran a disk cleanup ?
Hawaii Recruit : " There is a ton of room on the C drive --".That means
how many GB left available? You need 15% of the TOTAL space just for
storing the restore points.
John Hanley : your partitioned D drive is for RECOVERY , not system
restore. You are right that external hard drive is best solution for
files backup.
Whatever you guys do, DO NOT TOUCH the D drive.
