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...

Can't create system image in windows 7

I am in Backup and Recovery and I am trying to create recovery disks for my new Pavilion 500t-205t. I see create ISO image. When I click on that it starts a swirling circle and nothing happens. I want to put my recovery disks on DVD and does not come back and give me that option. What is going on?
Also, when I try and register my product it tells me to try later. Is Product Registrations down?

Your computer might have one or two options for creating recovery media. Use the option that works best for you. See this:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867124
May I suggest you use Macrium Reflect Free to create an exact hard disk image to an external hard drive. It creates an exact copy of your OS, programs and date to restore your computer in the event of a disaster. I personally make one once a week and has saved me me a lot of headaches when I had problems. Don't forget to create the rescue disk from within the program.

Trouble Creating Padded Images for iMovie

i am having trouble creating "padded" images to add to iMovie 09. I followed the directions here (https://discussions.apple.com/message/10699725?messageID=10699725#10699725?messa geID=10699725) which recommend the following:
Set up an Automator Workflow to
1. Ask for Photos (You must select one or more photos and hit Select - you can make this easier by putting them in an album beforehand)
2. Copy Finder Items (give it a folder to copy to- so you can find them easily)
3. Pad Images. (put a check mark in "scale image before padding" and set for dimensions of your project.
Hit Run and a dialog box will come up asking you to select photos. When you are finished, press SELECT and the Automator script will keep running.
However, each time I run the script I get the following error: The action "Pad Images" was not supplied with the required data."
My files are .jpg and I am running OS X. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

If you want a quick response it might make sense to try and contact user TessB directly. I say that only as that person was the one that proposed the Automater Workflow workaround, and that's not exactly something here can answer (Maybe the folks in another forum related to Autmator might be able to help). Unfortunately some solutions aren't as generic or easy to use for everyone as they are for the person who has written them up. I call it the "Works for Me" problem.

Create System Image FAILURE because of the 100MB system reserved partition that Windows automatically created

trying to run:
Control Panel\System and Security\Backup and Restore > Create a system image
failed. the first attempts produced the error message:
A shadow copy could not be created. Please check "VSS" and "SPP" application event logs for more information. The specified object was not found. Error code: 0x81000019
so I searched around, read several threads from other users encountering the same issue, tried the various solutions suggested, found Volume Shadow Copy and SPP in services and set both to Automatic and started them, and then I tried running Create
a system image again and received a different error message:
Create a system image
The backup failed.
There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location. Make sure that, for all volumes to be backed up, the minimum required disk space for shadow copy creation is available. This applies to both the backup storage destination
and volumes incluced in the backup minimum requirement: For less than 500 megabytes, the minimum is 50 megabytes of free space. For volumes more than 500 megabites, the minimum is 320 megabites of free space. Recommended: At least 1 gigabyte of
free disk space on each volume if folume size is more than one gigabyte.
(0x87080119)
according to this, a 100MB partition (a drive less than 500 megabytes) must have 50MB of free space. as you know, Windows automatically creates a hidden partition of 100MB on installation. that partition contains more than 50MB of data and, therefore,
obviously doesn't have the minimum 50MB of free space required by Windows' Create a system image utility, yet the Create a system image requires that the 100MB partition as well as the C drive and the Recovery partition be included (the checkboxes beside each
one is checked and grayed out, so none of the three can be unchecked). so it appears that Windows has designed an installation default (automatic creation and filling of that 100-MB partition) that conflicts with Windows' own Create a system image utility
and prevents it from working.
what is the workaround or solution to this problem. I will be replacing my primary 1TB HDD with a new one and need a way to back up my system to a portable/external USB 2TB HDD and then to transfer the image back to the new internal HDD once it's installed.
for clarification, this is NOT about backing up my files, so please do not reply with suggestions about archiving my folders and documents. my system is set up the way I want it, with all my personalized settings and configurations, all of my software
is installed, all of my shortcuts, saved context menu data, folders, etc. are where I want them and installing a fresh copy of Windows and all my other software and then redoing everything I've done to get the system set up the way it is will take DAYS of
exhaustive, laborious, and time-consuming effort. Microsoft apparently intended to provide a solution by creating the Create a system backup option, but it doesn't work, so what is the solution?

Hi,
In my opinion, about this problem, there is no relationship with 100 system reserved partition. Moreover, according to the error message, it should be the drive which you wanna store system backup image file doesn't have enough space, not 100M system reserved
parition.
System reserved parition used to store system startup bcd file, bootmgr, necessary file of Bitlocker encryption. This drive won't affect system image backup process.
Therefore, please check the shorage drive capacity if it is meet the backup requirements, also you can check Event Log if it identify the problem.

When HP Recovery isn't available... system image using Windows 8 as backup?

Would like to start out with a big shout out to Paul T for his VERY useful thread here ! http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-8-Product-Key-for-Pavilion-G6/m-p/3882966/highlight/false#M205987 A friend's family asked me to work on their laptop since I know more about computers than they do ... they're very good people, was happy to help them out but true to form like a lot of PC users they didn't bother keeping ANY of the documentation that came with the laptop (HP Pavilion g6-2298nr ), nor did they bother to burn recovery DVD's using HP's built in recovery software program that comes standard on the laptops... if I'm interpreting what HP's website had to say about the laptop , model HP Pavilion g6-2298nr, correctly, according to it's serial number it no longer qualifies for free tech support and I'd have to pay HP a fee just to talk to someone and order the recovery DVD's (friend's family bought it back in Dec 2014 so to me it seems REALLY strange that I wouldn't be able to just order the recovery DVD's without having to pay tech support a fee just to ask to order the recover DVD's ! .. but anyways...)... This is where having the product key "built into" the BIOS really comes in handy ! I crossed my fingers, used the method mentioned in the thread linked above, and it worked ! ... have to admit it was a bit strange at first not using the product key sticker like the old days but I can see how this works better in the long run - helps to prevent piracy, you don't have to worry if someone who doesn't realize the importance of the product key sticker peels it off and throws it away ... Unfortunately it looks like when you reinstall Windows this way you lose the HP Backup and Recovery Program ... in this case my friend's family had the misfortune of paying someone to repair this laptop who didn't bother to tell them " Hey, I replaced the hard drive that's going bad but if you don't get a laptop cooler for this sucker the laptop's just going to overheat again ! " ... sure enough, the money they paid this so called "tech repair" person went down the drain when the laptop fried a second hard drive, or maybe the tech saddled them with a bad hard drive who knows? (the tech bought an OEM hard drive off ebay) ... ... sorry to sound harsh about this tech guy, I will admit I only worked in the PC repair field for a few months over a decade ago before leaving it to be a stay-at-home-dad (wife is a pharmacist so I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home) so my experience is VERY limited compared to other people .. but back then I always treated my customers the way I'd treat a friend, and if it's a friend you offer advice on how to prevent problems like this in the future... this laptop gets HOT like you wouldn't believe , I have it sitting on a very reliable laptop cooler (thick slab of aluminum that does a great job as a heatsink with fans, this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834953038 and I've let my friend's family know in no uncertain terms they need to order this laptop cooler if they're going to use this laptop) ... The hard drive replacement I installed seems to be working fine but of course it's not an "official WD hard drive" .... when I tried to install the photolink cyberdirector software for example at the link below got a " this isn't a WD hard drive so can't install this software" error message... http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-g6-2200-notebook-pc-series/5296082/model/5333338#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 which is fine I really don't think my friend's family will care about that program... but it makes me wonder, even if I trusted the download at this link below http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5190-hp-backup-and-recovery-manager.html if the HP Backup and Recovery manager program would even work to begin with since it's not an official WD hard drive (I also ordered an OEM hard drive off ebay .. but not charging my friend's family for the hard drive since they've been good to my munchkins and didn't want them to pay through the nose for a more expensive hard drive so of course I wanted to minimize my own expenses...)... also I think that sort of program relies on a " C " and " D " drive being set up like it was when the laptop shipped with the original hard drive and saves a backup copy on the " D " drive.. I suppose I could use disk management to create a different partition, label it " D " and see if HP Backup and Recovery worked but it seems a bit.. iffy... not to mention that I feel uncomfortable downloading something that isn't directly on HP's website as an "official" download... I know that Windows 8 has a "system image" utility built into it that lets you make just that.. a system image.. like I said my friend's family are good people but I'm guessing sooner or later they're going to screw this laptop up again like a lot of computer users do .. it would be nice if I could burn a system image of what's on the laptop right now onto DVD and hang onto it so when they come back to me in the future hollering "Help , laptop isn't working again ! " I can just restore from the system image on DVD rather than having to go through the hassle of reinstalling Windows, graphics/audio/et cetera drivers, zillion and one Windows updates et cetera all over again. What I'm wondering is... would this even work? I've never tried to use system image in a situation like this with the product key being "built into" the BIOS , that sort of thing is brand new to me... is it worth burning the DVD's and hanging onto them just in case? Sorry for the long essay and thanks in advance to anyone who actually takes the time to read all of this !

Thanks man it's really helpful to know that someone else has used this exact same method successfully to back up their HP computers ! Will do just that... yep, yep I know it'll be at least 10 DVD's or something crazy like that after all those windows updates download ... problem with using an external hard drive is I can't convince my friend's family to buy one no matter how many times I warn them it's not "if" your PC gets messed up it's " when " ..... and my external hard drives are all in use with system image backups of my own PC's ... so will burn the DVD's for 'em then just hang on to them and wait for the inevitable And thanks for the kind words about my work for them too ! .. it's a lot of effort but they've been super nice to me so it's the least I can do ... they're actually parents of one of my daughter's best friends and they've taken my munchkin out to various places and flat out refused to let me pay them back for it so it feels good to be able to help them out this way... though I wish they'd come to me first instead of letting themselves get ripped off by the so called PC tech I mentioned earlier (would it have killed the guy to burn them a set of recovery DVD's? Heck if he wanted to be selfish and greedy he could have just offered it to them for an "additional fee" but it would have saved them and me a lot of trouble ! Though I'm not sure if the recovery DVD's would cooperate given that it's not an "official HP hard drive" I put in there? ) It occured to me that if I call tech support they probably can't charge me if I don't give them a credit card number .. so I did (1-888-698-3762).. they said the warranty on this laptop expired Dec 2013 ! Friend's family said they bought it in Dec 2014 from QVC, hope QVC didn't sell them a used laptop ! ... HP wanted over a hundred dollars for an "official" HP hard drive said no thanks to that... HP says despite me putting in a non-HP hard drive that recovery DVD's should work ... HP wanted $ for recovery DVD's (tried to help me order recovery DVD's off HP website, they couldn't find the link on there to them either for some reason... maybe 'cause laptop is an older model??? ) ... HP asked for thirty dollars (cheapest option!) for recovery DVD's ... but mentioned that if the laptop really was purchased Dec 2014 and if I e-mail them proof of purchase they'll ship out recovery DVD's for free instead since it would be within it's one year warranty period.. I'm waiting on the friend's family to give me the proof of purchase for me to scan and e-mail to HP ... though I think I'm going to go ahead and use system image to burn the DVD's first THEN run the HP recovery DVD's (if they do in fact turn out ot be free) in case the HP rep made a mistake and the HP recovery DVD's don't like the "unofficial" HP hard drive on this laptop...

HP G62293sa - attemp to create system image has failed ....

HP Pavilion G62293sa
Windows 8
I've just attempted to create a system image onto a Seagate external drive. There's plenty of space ... about 480GB. I knew something wasn't quite right when it only took around 20mins and then asked if I wanted to create a repair disc. When I checked the Seagate ... the 'Windowsbackupimage folder' size was only 4kb. And why does it keep telling me I don't have permission to access this folder when I try to open it ... then it opens anyway? I had an 8GB USB on hand to create the repair disc but it won't allow me to use a USB ... just keeps suggesting I use the DVD drive. I thought you could create a repair disc on a blank USB. If memory serves, I did create some sort of HP system recovery on about 4 disks when I first bought the laptop back in February. Is that the same as 'creating a repair disc'??
Could someone give me suggestions on how to create a system image successfully on my external drive. I've no idea why it's failed.
Thanks
not tech minded btw ... if that isn't obvious )

Scheduled system image backup windows 8.1

Hello,
in windows 8.1. there is an option to create a system image backup.
What can be done to configure this as a scheduled job to backup a machine every night as an image?
Thx

Hi,
Since MS took away the scheduling feature in System image backup, we can only use script in the Task Scheduler as Chrise mentioned.
You can also refer to this article:

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+.

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.

Having trouble creating NetRestore images.

I am pulling out what little hair I have on this one, so any help is greatly appreciated.
I am creating a NetRestore image of a 10.8.2 laptop, connected (firewaire) to a server running 10.8.2. System Image Utility does it's thing, says it's done. I can make it availlable.
This is where the hilarity ensues.
It ends up being a NetBoot image. No matter what settings I check, whether I use the "custom" option or not, every image I have made that should have ended up a NetRestore image, boots the laptops I am trying to image with the very same image, but only as a NetBoot.
I even attempted to make a NetInstall image from my Mountain Lion installer, and it does the same exact thing and it ends up making a NetBoot image.
All created images end up in a .nbi folder, all in the correct folder to be served from.
Please tell me I am missing something simple, I cannot keep creating an image of the same computer expecting a different result. Isn't that the definition of insanity?
Help?

I'm fumbling through this process as well and find it incredible that there is practically nothing from Apple which documents the full process that is required of us. All I have been able to find are a few paragraphs which tell me that I want NETBOOT images for getting my computers up to the point of being imaged and that I want NETRESTORE images for cloning of these machines. Apart from that I feel as though I'm left on my own to figure out HOW I'm supposed to make it work.
That being said, I can't tell you what is wrong in your specific case but I can offer two suggestions:
1) I was told on 3/1/13 by a senior apple enterprise guy that you can't perform the IMAGE creation on the server if the two machines have different hardware. Lets say you have your laptop connected to an imac running the server app...you can't boot your laptop into TARGET DISK MODE (TDM) with firewire/thunderbolt to the imac and run the SYSTEM IMAGE UTILITY and expect the process to give you what you desire. I've proven to myself that you can do it but I was told flat out that this won't work because the machine that runs the SIU will build an image for that type of hardware and you can't then push the image out to a different machine. So in this case you end up with an imac image that you couldn't deploy to your laptops, even though the source image came from a laptop.
Apparently you will need to use a 2nd laptop in this scenario to run the SIU; or you can boot the machine onto another volume and run the SIU from that volume against the source volume. You could do this by booting the machine into recovery mode using R at startup and use the restore options to put a clean O/S onto an external drive-then boot to that drive and run SIU against your source.
2) I've found something called the PENN STATE MACADMINS
http://macadmins.psu.edu
they have published lengthy videos and associated PDFs of those presentations which are supposed to help folks like us. The problem that I'm running into with what is currently posted is that it is for 10.7, not 10.8. I'm currently wading through it and trying my best to work out the differences myself.
-good luck

How can I create system image of Win-7 only on drive with Win-7 (NTFS) and Win-ME (FAT-32) system partitions

I am trying to create a Windows 7 Image Backup on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit PC.
I have two bootable partitions on my hard drive. One is NTFS and contains the Win-7 system files.
The other is FAT-32 and contains a Windows-ME system.
When it comes to selecting the drives (partitions) for backing up, both are marked as System, and both are selected. Both are also "greyed out) - I cannot uncheck them.
Furthermore, the Windows-7 imaging utility supplied with Windows-7 returns an error saying it cannot image the disk because it contains a partition that is not NTFS.
How can I select and image ONLY the NTFS partition that contains the Win-7 system? That is what I want to do.

Any of the products listed below will backup the contents (all partitions) of your disk drive. The only limitation is that you must install the backup software in Windows 7. You will perform a "Disk and Partition" backup by manually selecting
the disk and all partitions (NTFS / FAT32) and the Master boot Record (MBR) on the drive. The destination / where the Image Backup will be stored should be an external USB drive. With a "Disk and Partition" backup you can restore any partition
to your existing drive or the entire backup (to the same disk drive or a new drive).

Creating system recovery USB windows 7 HELP ( T510i )

Hello everyone,
Today I bought a SSD drive for my Lenovo thinkpad T510i. I wanted to make a bootable USB flash drive, to boot my lenovo after switching the HDD for the SSD. So i took my USB ( 16 GB ) and made a system recovery disk with thinkvantage tools. Switched the HDD for the SSD and started the Lenovo with the USB in place. After a few attempts ( failing ) I'd switched the HDD back and went searching what went wrong. I found that I had to create a bootable USB first. So i did. After that i had to re install the system recovery on the USB.
My problem is.... microsoft windows doesn't let me make a new recovery of my system ?!! So when I want to start the recovery program I get the error ( in dutch ) that windows only lets me make one recovery device......
I want to ask you what I can do about this... do I have any options left ?
Thanks in advance

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

Trouble with creating an image sequence in QT Pro 7.4.

I'm having trouble creating an image sequence in QT Pro 7.4(Windows XP). I have a folder containing a JPEG sequence (alternative a PICT-Image sequenz). I Open image sequence, choose the image-frequency and choose the first image, but QT created only the first image in a self-contained movie. But, the same images with the same procedure with QT Pro 7.2 on another Windows XP- PC created a correctly self-contained movie. Is this a bug in QT Pro 7.4?
Please help me and apologize for my bad english!

You have to revert to an older version of QT. After Effects users are having the same issue. Here's a link to a temporary fix (reverting back to older version):

1) I downloaded QT 7.3.1 from the Apple Support Downloads website.
2) I downloaded Pacifist from their webiste
3) I installed Pacifist on my machine
4) I opened the QuickTime DMG file and drug the PKG file out of it
5) I launched Pacifist and dragged the QuickTime 7.3.1 PKG file onto the Pacifist window.
6) I clicked on "Contents of QuickTime531_Leopard.pkg" to select it in Pacifist
7) I choose "Install" from the Pacifist menu at the top of the window
It started installing and I chose "Replace" when ever it prompted me. You can actually click a little check box that says "Don't Keep Asking Me This" and then you don't have to click "Replace" a 1000 times.
9) I restarted my computer (Intel Quad-Core 3 Ghz) went to System Preferences>QuickTime and checked that I was now actually running QT 7.3. YES!!!
