Windows Complete PC Backup drive selection!?

Hi all,

I used Windows Complete PC Backup in my Vista Ultimate to backyp my system
drive. Now when I want to do a complete PC backup.... my hardware hasn't
changed!...... Windows Complete PC Backup automatically pre-selects C and D.
C is my system drive and D is not. D is a data drive on which there are no
paths required by the system.
Worse is that I can't deselect D and that C+D won't fit on my backup drive.

How do I fix this without having to buy a new beackup device.

Patrick

I've just found out that this occured after installation of nero 8 ;maybe it
has to do something with the nero backup progam ?
I rolled back to nero 7 without nero backup and can choose drives to back up
again.
