Windows Phone 8 : "The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk."

Question

I get following message when I try to add "Periodic Task" to "ScheduledActionService" in Windows Phone 8 Application. "The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk." I am really not sure if this is related to Visual Studio 2012 that I am using or related to Periodic Tasks on Windows Phone 8. The same piece of code works fine in Windows Phone 7.

You need to manually update your WPAppManifest.xml file and configure the background task there.

Appears to be normal behavior, not related to emulator or debugging.
