Thanks for taking a look.
I think I may have found the problem in trying to sort out a different problem.
Windows7 has been making regular system back ups but hasn't been deleting the old data which has meant one of my drives had nearly 700GB of data on it, so I'm hoping that by clearing that lot and doing a new back up routine it will possibly free up the space for it to work.
I have no idea if it will work but I need todo it regardless.
