Cannot Create a System Image

I am attempting to create a system image of my c:\ (Windows 7 Professional RTM) drive to a network drive. I keep getting the following message when the process completes:
"New bad clusters were found on the source drive. These clusters were not backed up. (0x8078007D)"
I tried running CHKDSK C: /R /F from an administrative command prompt. This necessitated restarting Windows and running CHKDSK prior to starting Windows. Following completion, I tried running the image creation again with the same message.
Obviously, I do not want to try a restore since that could totally hose my system.
I looked at the target drive and it does appear that a number of files and folders have been created, but whether these are any good or not, I am not in a position to say.
Is this a documented bug, and is there a know fix?Windows 7 Professional RTM dual booting with Windows 7 RC (using RC to test Office 2010 in a test environment)
2 GB memory 160 HD
Networked Gateway Laptop
HP Officejet 6310 All-in One inkjet printer
Verizon FIOS Internet Connection

Ran a scheduled backup tonight to my external USB drive. This backs up a data partition and creates an image of my c:\ drive. The message box said that the job had completed and had a green progress bar (the attempts from the prior post had a red bar), but when I looked at the Event Viewer, it had the same messages - see below:
I created this originally by creating a backup job - the images from above were from the Create a System Image option on the right pane.

  • Help: Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware

    I want to recover a complete image of a Windows 7 operating system I have backed up to my other server. But I am getting the error "Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware. The System Image was created by a computer using BIOS and this computer is using EFI"
    The image was definitely taken from this machine - the firmware has not changed!
    What do I need to do to restore the image?
    Background Story ..
    I bought a new HP 255 laptop per-installed with Windows 7 without Operating Systems instal disks (I will NEVER be stupid enough to do that again!).
    I took a complete image of the systems, as suggested so that I was well backed up.
    However, my machine corrupted its operating systems with a few weeks. The boot recovery CD did not work (would not boot). So in desperation, and because time was short I went out and bought another, legitimate copy of Windows 7 DVD with a license key (So now I have 2, legitimate copies of the operating system!).
    I installed the new copy of Windows 7 - but it was dreadful, because many drivers were missing. Mostly the missing drivers were not available on the HP support site for this machine. ALso, boot up was increadibly slow compared to the original OS installation.
    So I created a new boot recovery disk from the new version of Windows, and tried to restore using that. New boot disk loads ok, I can find the old image on my network (after loading a few network drivers). But I won't instal the image - giving the above error message.
    I tried deleting the EFI partition from the disk (using GPARTED to reformat that partition). That killed the Windows 7 on the machine - but still gives the same error message when I try to re-image the machine.
    I have tried going into the BIOS settings .. HP 255 has a "Legacy Mode" - which I have enabled, but this makes no difference at all!
    I think that the kind of solutions I am looking for might be:
    1. There is a clever way of disabling EFI on my 255 so that it looks like a legacy BIOS machine, or
    2. This EFI this is wired into my new boot recovery disk - and there is a way of creating a boot recovery disk that does not use EFI
    This has taken me about 2 weeks so far,please help with any suggestions!

    Erico,
    I suspect that "MSDOS" is what the Gparted tool calls "MBR" for a partition table, as explained here:
    http://superuser.com/questions/700770/mbr-equals-msdos-for-gparted
    I think that you are suggesting I give up on trying to recover the image I have stored on my server and just to instal Windows 7 from my new copy. There are two problems with this.
    1. After having systematically downloaded all of the drivers from the HP 255 notebook support page, I am still seeing missing drivers listed. Install the AMD graphics softpaq driver first. It also contains the chipset drivers.
    2. The machine is taking a hugely long time to boot up, and seems much slower with this version. Maybe that is a product of using "EFI" rather than "bios" - I don't know.
    My assumption is that HP had some special set-up option with their version of Windows which makes the machine more performant. It does not seem to be a coincidence that the image they deliver the machine with is not quite compatible with a 'normal' Windows 7 instal.
    So my original question stands: How do I recover the image that I saved away (as per instructed) when I first bough the machine?
    You still have not said what you used to create the system image. What is the "image" file's extension?
    You are mistaken in your comparison. MSDOS is an operating sytem MBR is a partitioning scheme.  that is comparing apples to oranges. 
    The article is making an oblique reference in that using GPARTED is more or less equated to using the diskpart utility at the command line. Everything done at the comand line is essentially  done by use of MSDOS commands. GPARTED does the same thing with LINUX commands via a graphical interface so you don't have to type in the commands in a  Linux console.
    Do you mean making a backup? a backup is not a clone which can be reproduced on different hardware. The SSD disk replacement does make the hardware differ from the original configuration.
    Follow the instaructions on the following tutorial to make your disk a GPT type before installing.

  • Cannot create a system restore point [service cannot be started in Safe Mode (0x8007043c)]"

    Is there a solution to years old error message "Cannot create a system restore point [service cannot be started in Safe Mode (0x8007043c)]" I have been trying to create a restore point or image on an external hard drice, but I get the quoted message
    and the system is NOT in safe mode.  I have reviewed all the previous suggestions on this forum to no avail.  Are there any new suggestions.  My computer had Windows 7 installed and I have no source to re-load the OS.  Ralph

    Hi,
    So actually you're not in safe mode (not black background, no "safe mode" on the left-bottom of the screen), right?
    I think something is causing your PC thinking itself is in the safe mode, run sfc/scannow and chkdsk /f/r, check if the two tools can find any error.
    Or perform a startup repair in recovery console, check the result

  • Windows (8.1) could not find back up devices while creating a system image (0x80070003)

    I am trying to create a system image backup under Windows 8.1 Windows Backup is unable to find a backup device with error (0x80070003). No drives are shown under "On a hard disk" and select <Refresh> gives the same error.
    A LaCie 1Tb external harddisk is connected to the PC and formatted as an NTFS drive. The hard disk is visable under Harddisk Management and shows up under Explorer mapped as Drive D:
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    As you mentioned, the Drive D is mapped from your external harddrive. How did you connect this hard drive into this computer?
    If it was connected via network, Please choose "On a network location" and locate the harddrive to check the results.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) Create a System Image Failure (error code: 0x80780119)

    Hello,
    I recently bought a new 1 TB hard drive, and I want to move everything from my original 250 GB to the new one. I have read from numerous sources that Creating a System Image through Windows 7, and then restoring that system image using the Windows 7 OS disc,
    is the safest way to do so. My problem lies in creating the system image. I have looked up the error code and found that the usual problem is not having enough space, specifically on the System Reserved partition of the drive.
    On the original 250 GB hard drive, the C: partition has 45 GB of free space, while the System Reserved partition has 69 MB of free space. On the new 1 TB hard drive, the only partition has 747 GB of free space (this is because I was originally going to manually
    move only certain files, such as games, but halfway I decided that I want to move everything over).
    On the 250 GB hard drive, the main partition that houses the OS and my other files is, as I said above, labeled C:. The System Reserved partition, also on the 250 GB hard drive is labeled G:. The only partition on the new 1 TB hard drive is labeled F:.
    From what I can tell, based on similar questions and their responses as well as the information given from the system image error, I should be able to create the system image without any problems. When I try to create the image (I check the boxes for both
    partitions, C: and G: when asked what drives to create an image of), I receive the same error code, 0x80780119, along with the message about not having enough space on one of the volumes.
    I'm all out of ideas, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your help,
    Joshua Ratliff

    Hi,
    Regarding this issue, try to refer to the following articles which would give you some hints:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit backup failed (0x80780119)
    Windows 7 RC Backup fails - Errorcode 0x81000019
    Hope it helps.

  • Create a system image

    This is the error i get, I have a 2 tb drive, (windows fresh install) and a 2 tb backup drive, completely formatted and empty. the 2nd drive was formatted full size,  scroll over to see the 3 photos which show drives copied, it says only 33 gb was necessary,
    adn i have 2 tb and have tried over 10 times with same error, i had photos but it said my account isnt verified

    You are trying to create a system image backup with the built in Windows backup?
    It sounds ok that a backup of a fresehed installed windows 8 takes about 33gb nothing to worry about.

  • Cannot create a backup image!

    I did a clean install of Snow Leopard after upgrading to a 500 WDC Western Digital hard drive. After installing additional software, I decided to create a base image of my MacBook. I bought a USB Western Digital PassPort 500 MB hard drive, and disabled the virtual CD by upgrading the firmware so I could use the USB drive without no prompts appearing after connecting it to my MacBook. Everything seem fine so far. I booted to the Snow Leopard CD, run the disk utility and it found the USB drive, I reformatted the USB drive to ensure that it was detected, and the Disk Utility had no issues detecting it and then formatting it.
    I selected "New Image" and then selected the "Macintosh HD" drive and for "Save to" I selected the Western Digital USB drive. After a brief pause, I received the error" Cannot allocate memory". Anyone else receiving this error? My MacBook is about three years old and has 2 Gig of memory.
    Also I had no issues in using this USB drive to create a backup using the Time Machine utility after logging in as an administrator. Note that I have my home folder encrypted, so I had to create a administrator account and log on using that account in order to create a backup of my home folders.
    The reason that I want to create an base image using Disk Utility is that I read that Time Machine doesn't backup ALL operating system files like a image created using Disk Utility.
    Rich

    I understand what TIme Machine does, and I did create a backup using it but I really rather have an image create from Disk Utility, but I get an "cannot allocate Memory" error after I perform the steps below...
    Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility
    Connect an external hard drive (FireWire or USB) that has sufficient free space to hold at least one copy of the contents of your Macintosh HD.
    Start from your Mac OS X 10.5 Install DVD. (Insert the disc, restart and hold the C key.)
    Select your language. Do not start an installation.
    Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Select the disk you wish to back up (your source disk, such as Macintosh HD) in the source pane on the left.
    Click the "New Image" button in the toolbar.
    Give your image a useful name such as "04-15-2009 Macintosh HD backup". A date in the name makes it easy to tell when the backup was made.
    Note: For additional security, you can encrypt the backup disk image. From the "Encryption:" pop-up menu, select either 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption.
    When prompted enter a password for the encryption: Use the password assistant to help you make a good password, or see this link for information about how to choose a good password. Select "Remember password in my keychain" if you want to securely store the password in the keychain of your external hard drive's admin user account.
    Be sure the Save destination is a location on your external hard disk, then click "Save" to continue.
    Enter your admin name and password if prompted.
    The imaging process will begin. The time it takes to complete the imaging process depends on factors such as the amount of data on your Macintosh HD. Approximately 1 GB per minute will be imaged, depending on various factors.
    When the process is complete, quit Disk Utility (press Command-Q).
    Press Command-Q to quit the Mac OS X installer; you will be prompted to restart.

  • Can I create a system image with System Image Utility and then transfer the image folder to another server?

    I am currently in the process of creating several images to restore for classroom purposes. I am wondering if it is possible to use the System Image Utility on a computer which has Server Admin Tools installed, then transfer that image folder directly to the "NetBoot" folder on our current Apple Netboot Server. Has anyone tried this and/or succeeded? I'd like to get some feedback before attempting it myself on our college's netboot server. Thanks!

    We've run into a few problems concerning this process. When we create the image on a seperate machine from the server using SIU and then place it in the NetBoot folder, not every .nbi folder created works properly. We're running into errors that say "Could not find any scan information. The source needs to be imagescanned before it can be restored". This does not happen with every image, but it does happen with computers which have a lot of programs installed on them. Is there a way to imagescan the .nbi folder and/or resolve this issue without going through the process of making a completely new NetRestore image?

  • Create a system image Win 8.1

    Hi everybody
    Just purchased a T440 with Win  8.1 on it and tried to do a system image but it keeps failing giving the following error
    "The specified disk cannot be found"
    During the system image creation it is said that the following drives will be backed up:
     - EFI System partition
     - Windows8 OS (C (System)
    - WINRE_DRV (System)
    these are the drives that were on laptop when acquired and it sems that I cannot change / select only one of them
    Does anybody know what can be done?
    Thank you for your help!

    I'd reccomend just getting Acronis. They'll let you do full Disk images that will maintain all of your serial numbers, documents, saved data, apps and what not and it's all totally customizable! they'll give you a free trial with everything functional if you don't want to pay for it. http://www.acronis.com/en-us/  I'm not a rep, nor do i endorse Acronis, i just find them to have one of the best most convienient user friendly tools for disk imaging and recovery options!
    or
    Lenovo Solution center has an option. Either way, i hope you find a solution! it's definitly a must have, needing a recovery disk and what not!

  • HT201316 cannot create recovery system

    Trying to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mountain lion. While it is installing an error message appears stating that it cannot create a recovery disc for mountain lion and then stops and reverts back to 10.6.8

    I have got the same problem as talbotshort.  I apologise for sounding dumb, but how can I boot Mountain Lion from my Snow Leopard installer? Do I need the disk to get the Snow Leopard installer?
    I hope you can help me, thanks.

  • Cannot create source system in RSA1

    Hi,
    I have a BI System:
    Netweaver 7.0 unicode
    BI_CONT  7.03
    Windows 2003 server
    SAP_BASIS: 700_016
    SAP_BW: 700_18
    I have an ECC 6.0 system:
    Netweaver 7.0 non-unicode
    Windows 2003 server
    SAP_BASIS: 700_015
    I go into RSA1 on my BI system
    Click on Source Sytems
    right-click on SAP and choose Create
    I then fill-in the necessary ionformation and click on the Green check.
    I am asked to login as an admin user.
    I receive a popup sating that user already exist in source system, I choose Continue.
    I receive a popup saying RFC destination already exists in source system. I choose USE.
    I get this error at this stage: Error in source system JCB275.
    So, I check RFC conenctions, they all work fine.
    I finally find an error in SM21 in my ECC 6.0 system:
    Run-time error "DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND" occurred
    short dump generated.
    So, I go into ST22 and try to get more info on the short dump (I only copy/pasted some info):
    Runtime Errors         DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND
    Date and Time          06.02.2009 09:56:18
    The current ABAP program "SAPLSTRD" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    During background processing, the system attempted to send a
    screen to a user.
    Current screen: "SAPLSTRD " 0351.
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND" " "
    "SAPLSTRD" or " "
    "SYSTEM-EXIT"
    Client.............. 700
    User................ "BRUNEERI"
    Transaction......... "RSA1"
    Call Program........."SAPLRSAC"
    Function Module..... "RSAP_BIW_CONNECT"
    Call Destination.... "JCB275"
    Source Server....... "svr60dbw_DBI_11"
    Source IP Address... "10.16.33.3"
    I search SDN and SAP notes to no avail.
    Note that this ECC 6.0 system is also connected to another BI system and it works fine on that other system.
    thanks to all

    solution found:
    config needs to be opened on source system ,if not, a popup tries to tell you that config needs to be opened, but it cannot because the frontend is not active on this connection.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 - Cannot create root and image folder in Site Management. (Create New Site)

    Good day everyone,
    I am not able to create folders for a new site in Dreamweaver CS3.
    This is the problem:
    I open Dreamweaver
    I go to site and click on create new site
    In the new site panel I name the site eg: Test Site
    Then I click on the browse folder to attached a root folder and image folder for the site
    This is where the problem starts, when I browse to the folders, Dreamweaver does not keep the location/path.
    Like this: My folder is created in the following directory.
    C:\xampp\htdocs\my_site_folder
    So when I browse to this folder and click save
    the path does not stay in Dreamweaver, all the stays is this.
    C:\xampp\htdocs\
    The site name does not remain.
    I cannot get Dreamweaver to hold the path.
    Same for the image folder.
    I noticed this started to happened after I updated Vista to Service pack 2.
    I have never seen this happen before.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Cannot create Portal System and Alias in System Landscape in Portal

    hallo all,
    i want to install vc, therefore i need to create an Portal System and Alias.
    this i should do in system landscape in the portal
    (System Admin -> System config -> System landscape )!
    but when i open it, it is loading and loading and nothing happens!
    can someone tell me, what problem that could be?
    ep 7.0 is installed and i want to connect to ERP 2005 ECC 6.0.
    regards Vartan

    Vartan,
    The VC needs a portal in order to run - it needs to borrow the core portal and J2EE functionaliy as the VC components only bring in VC specific applications.
    One question to ask, based upon personal experience, is what browser are you using here please? For instance, I've hit this issue when working from Firefox (1.5 or 2.0) but not when I'm running the same link in IE 6.0.
    Just a thought. Let me know how you do.
    Cheers,
    Tim

  • Cannot create queue system device

    hi all, I try to create a queue system device. Here's my code:

    The problem is the size, see bold line. Everything is ok when that line isn't included. But if it's included, I receive a error, like this:

    In both cases, file device_file is created. What's wrong here? thanks!
