Scheduled tasks

Hi

I have just fitted a brand new Maxtor 160Gig Sata HD to my Dell 5150 system as an additional storage drive. I have a small batch file that basically copies everything i need to this drive whenever i run it manually. Thought i would use the scheduled tasks to run it at a preset time but i keep getting an error message everytime i try to set this up. I have tried using my account and the administrators account but still get the error message see attached. Anyone any ideas as to why this occurs?

When prompted by the wizard, enter the user as follows:

machinename\administrator

And use the administrator password.
