Error Code 0xC03A0005 trying to create system image on NAS device

I am trying to create a system image of my new Windows 8.1 Pro on a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+.
I get the message
The version does not support this version of the file format (0xC03A0005)
Which version?
Which file format?
The NV+ runs some form of Linux but what does the Microsoft error message mean?

Hi,
There will be a .vhdx file for each hard disk that was included in the system image backup when it was created in Windows 8.1. According to this, I suspect this is related to this kind of reason: The failure happens while the .VHD file created by Windows
Backup is mounted during backup.

Trouble Creating System Image in Windows 8.1

My system: Satellite P55-A5312 with 750GB HDD, Windows 8.1 (upgraded from pre-installed 8.0), BIOS fw 1.90 (just updated)
Tried to create System Image: Start ==> Search ==> File History ==> System Image Backup ( in lower left corner of the screen). Successfully finds the 1TB backup drive (newly formatted at NTFS) attached via USB. Message says 204GB of space will be needed to store the image. (Note: 1TB is almost 5 times what is needed).
Start Backup ==> "The Backup Failed", "There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location, etc.).
I found the following thread in this forum: http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/System-Image-Fails-on-Windows-8-1-Pro/m-p/...
and am curious what the following recommendation means: "To work around this problem, increase the size of the OEM partition on the backup drive."
What OEM partition? My backup drive has a single NTFS partition consuming the entire capacity of the HDD. What am I doing wrong?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After increasing the size of 1 partition, the System Image utility completed without error. To fully confirm, I need to try an image restore.
The long answer is noteworthy (refer to the attached). I used 3 different methods to query partition size and usage.
1. Disk Management shows that 4 of the 5 partiions are 100% free space. What I don't understand is how the System Image utility of Windows 8.1 understands the partition sizes/usage but Disk Management does not.
2. Macrium Reflect gives what appears to be an accurate representation of the partitions and their size/usage. It also includes a (hidden?) partition not shown in Disk Management, thus 6 instead of 5 partitions.
3. MiniTool Partition Wizard agrees for the most part with Macrium Reflect with two notable exceptions. It shows the 128MB partition has zero free space (vs 113.7MB = 89% free space using Macrium Reflect). This is a BIG difference. Also, the C partition showed slightly different usage than Macrium Reflect.
In the end, I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to modify 1 partition only (increase the 350MB partition to 414MB, resulting in a little more than the mandatory 50MB free space). The System Image operation then completed without error.
What baffles me is why 3 different utilities give different results of partition usage (I think they all agree on partition size). I would have never thought that determining partition usage was akin to rocket science, but perhaps it is...

Trying to create an image and save it on file system

Hi,
I'm trying to create an image and save it in the file system :
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     int wid = 632;
     int hgt = 864;
     BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(wid,hgt,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
     bufferedImage.getGraphics().setColor(Color.black);
     bufferedImage.getGraphics().drawOval(30, 30, 100, 100);
          bufferedImage.getGraphics().drawString("test me one two three",2,2);
          bufferedImage.flush();
try {
               ImageIO.write(bufferedImage,".bmp",new File("C:/MyImage.bmp"));
     } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
THE PROBLEM : It creates C:/MyImage.bmp on my file system, but the file is empty (size 0).
Am I missing something ?
Thanks

Try changing ".bmp" to "bmp". If that fails, try posting an SSCCE.

I/O device error when trying to backup system image (any advice? please!)

Having posted this once with absolutely no response, I'll try again.
When trying to backup my K330B system image, I get "device error encountered with either the source or the destination (0x8078012D)" and "Additional information: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. (0x8007045D)" It recommends chkdsk/r on both the source and destination devices. I did this for C: and for the external drive I'm backing up to. No problems are found.
I also found the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test on the support site. It does not list K330B as one of the devices it is designed for, but I tried it anyway. It reported an error on the read test and two other tests that it performed when directed to test all partitions on the HDD.
Has anyone else had problems backup up the entire system image but no problems backing up just the C: partition?

Backing up system image using what program or component?
What brand hard drives? Most manufacturers have test utilities
for their drives, sometimes better at finding errors.
As HDQT you tried found some errors, you should test drives
more thoroughly as a first step.

Are you trying to downgrade your iPhone?
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
(from iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting)
If not, try to move or delete the IPSW file and let iTunes download it again.
Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your device. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:

Error Code -17400; Unable to create thread

Running TestStand 4.0. Test sequence calls many sequences that run as new executions and runs fine for up to about 8 units testing simultaneously. After that, I get a run-time error code -17400; Unable to create thread. There are no other details available. The steps that generate the error are able to create the new executions initially, but eventually fail once about 22 executions are running. I am monitoring memory resources and there does not appear to be any issues. Any troubleshooting suggestions? Thanks.

My test sequence has several test groups, each of which contain loops that create new threads (tests) for 48 UUTs. Thus the number of running threads does get very high. I was running into problems with Windows XP GDI Object resources once the number of threads reached about 200. I then modified my program into smaller test groups to keep the number of threads at any time to less than 150. GDI resources are no longer an issue, but the error -17400 unable to create thread happens after the first test group has completed and the second test group is just trying to run. Note that the second test group runs fine if I skip the first test group, so the sequence itself should be okay. I thought it might be a memory issue (even though there are no apparent memory issues seen in Windows Task Manager), so I set the "Unload after step executes" property for each of the new executions created. That did not resolve the issue.
I am trying to create a simple sequence to duplicate the error without using any of the actual test sequences that require test hardware, but have not been successful thus far.
Thanks for your replies and suggestions!

Pavilion HPE-470f error code 0x4001100200001012 trying to re-install sysem via any method

I get the subject error code when trying to recover using either internal recovery or external DVD recovery disks. Will not boot - have tried replaing all memory, and new HD. (Do I have a motherboard or processor issue? The error code goes on to state "The instruction @ 0x74a005ef referenced at 0x00000114. The memory could not be read." (Do I have a bad motherboard or processor? Troubleshooting indicates it's not memory chips nor HD. )

Hello,
This issue is with the recovery media on the HDD or the DVD media, some of the files may have become corrupt.
Is the recovery DVD you are using burnt from the system? if so you may want to try burning at a lower speed.
Also if you do not have a OEM version of the recover media you can order a set from HP.

Error message when trying to create a unique name

Why do I keep getting an Error message when trying to create a unique name for a location on your site. I am simply looking to use your free 2GB space to store some pics and vids but keep getting an error message.

How come Leopard let me use the WGM in standard mode?
While SA complains that it won't work in Standard Configuration, WGM does not. There is some fault in the logic of this for which I don't have an explanation.
If I want to get control on Dock, selection of Home folder, config of Proxy... which I think are basic things, do I really need the advanced mode?
If you wish to have complete control of all client settings, yes. There really is no disadvantage of using an Advanced configuration other than the learning curve.
So if I switch to advanced mode, there is good chance I won't get this error message anymore, right?
Yes.

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.

I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space." What does this mean?

Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.
