Ghost 10.0 backup error

I have just finished spending an entire week getting my HP laptop re-formatted, re-installed and re-loaded. The last step was to run Ghost 10.0 on it and back up the whole drive to a USB drive.

Ghost installed OK and is activated

However, on trying to create a backup, it gets to about 5% and then spits out the following message as it stops:

“Cannot create recovery points for job…

Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job.

— Errors exist

— Unable to write to file

—- Error EBAB03F1: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

—- Unable to write to file

—– Error EBAB03F1: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)”

Anybody any idea what is going on here and how to sort it out?

Thanks
