    I often find that UAC on W2008 can cause 'weird and wonderful' errors.

    Try to open the Admin Console with right-click, Run as Administrator and see if Quick erase is successful.

    You can also try to open Cmd with Run as Administrator and issue the command from cmd.

    If it still fails, check the file size of the bplabel command. Hopefully you have a W2008 media server to compare file sizes. Else, post file properties and fellow Windows users can share what they see on their systems.

    If it will help - I have NBU 7.0.1 Admin Console installed on my Windows 7 laptop - file size 969 KB.
