That's a valid reason.

Most probably the driver. As a customer you could try writing to the

As far as I recall Windows is difficult (impossible?) to backup 
file-based. I would rather suggest you use one of the partition cloning 
tools (CloneZilla, PartImage, dd(rescue), etc.) and just backup the 
entire partition.
