  3. How do I correct 0x80070003 error when it comes up in my weekly backup?

    Hi Vicki,



    Thank you for your response with the current status of the issue.



    I suggest you to check for disk error and check if it helps.

    1. Open File Explorer.

    2. Right click on C Drive.

    3. Then click on Properties.

    4. Click on Tools tab.

    5. Then under Error checking, click on Check button.

    6. Follow the instruction to scan for disk error.

    Chkdsk disclaimer.

    Important: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost.

    You may try to take backup of Important files and folder on the External Disk drive before performing above steps.


    Let us know if you need any further assistance on Windows related issues and we will be glad to help.

    What is error 0x80070003 and how to correct it.

    The only entries at Microsoft are for Windows 2000:

    Bug Check 0x3: INVALID_AFFINITY_SET



    The INVALID_AFFINITY_SET bug check has a value of 0x00000003.
    This bug check appears very infrequently.

    Error Message:

    INVALID_AFFINITY_SET
    Explanation:

    This is a Windows character-mode Stop message. It indicates a null of incorrect subset affinity.
    User Action:

    If this is the first time you have restarted after installing additional hardware, remove the hardware and restart again. Check the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List to verify that the hardware and its drivers are compatible with Windows 2000. For information about the hardware, contact the supplier. If you are installing Windows 2000 for the first time, check the Windows 2000 system requirements, including amount of RAM and disk space required to load the operating system. Also check the Hardware Compatibility List to verify that the system can run Windows 2000. If Windows 2000 is loaded and no new hardware has been installed, restart with recovery options set to create a dump file. If the message continues to appear, select the Last Known Good option when you restart. If there is no Last Known Good configuration, try using the Emergency Repair Disk. If you do not have an Emergency Repair Disk, contact your technical support group.

    The number may be one character too long, may not give accurate search results. It's usually 0x followed by 8 alphanumeric characters.

    What is error 0x80070003 and how to correct it.

    Try to type net stop wuaserv on command and then hit enter. After that, try to type ren c:\windows\softwaredistributionsoftwaredistribution.old and then hit enter.

    Little more detail would help ... What backup program are you using and a screen shot of error message?

  12. Good point. I've also had another problem crop up that precludes a full backup. I let my Veritas maintenance contract lapse and now am struggling to get it renewed through a re-seller (another nightmare story). If successful hopefully an upgrade to version 16 will help.
