Wbadmin - access to EFI system partition fails

Sorry, but I could not change the headline in the thread were I started this issue. But error 0x807800C5 is too imprecise
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/79a735c1-4c50-4fa8-a945-46e25991eea9/wbadmin-failure-0x807800c5?forum=windowsbackup#47e77a02-ddb0-42dd-b33d-1475471f7bc3
So I sumarize the case:
Server 2012R2
Hypervisor with several running VM's
Up2Date 3/18/15
After weeks of succesfull backups wbadmin suddenly fails with 0x807800C5. No changes were made to the system, same backup device.
I restored a file and a VM succesfully from the backup to verify that the disk and the image is ok.
I run wbadmin from a script with:
wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -vssFull -allCritical -hyperv:vm1,vm2,vm3
Output is:
2015-03-18 23:02:17 INF > wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool

I found out that the failure only occurs if I add the -allCritical switch.
If I start the backup for drive c: with this command:
wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -include:C: -vssFull -exclude:c:\Hyper-V
everything is ok.
I can backup every virtual machine with the following command without any problem
wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -vssFull -hyperv:XYZ-DOM
Only this command fails:
wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -vssFull -allCritical
The difference is that wbadmin now tries to backup ALL partitions, also EFI & Co. So I assume that wbadmin does not have proper access to the "EFI System Partition" and that all information which one can find in the logs of the
2012 server related to that event is bullshit (Error: The specified backup disk cannot be found).
I found reports of 8.1 users rleated to similar problems (http://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/systemabbildsicherung-bricht-ab/f6ed5e53-829e-48be-9b47-a73f730680cc?page=1&tm=1384095732725). Could be a hint, same kernel.
But at the end: With this kind of backup you'll loose defintly the possibility of an bare-metal restore, very
unsatisfying.
Annother question: Backups with the -hyperv switch are terrible slow. The backups are written to an USB-3 disk, The xyz-Dom machine for example has two vhdx files with roundabout 700GB, more or less 350GB filled. The backup needs 12 hours!
Thank you

I had issues where my MacPro 8-core would not boot after the 10.7.4 upgrade, but my MacBook Air 13" 2011 upgrade worked just fine.
I had to restore my MacPro HD from my TimeMachine back up. Apparently, the Softraid raid drivers that I use on my MacPro are not compatible yet with 10.7.4. See here for more info:
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2012/20120511_1-MacOSX-SoftRAID.html
I contacted Softraid and they are already aware of the issues and are working with Apple for a fix.

MacBookPro SSD Error- ALERT: The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system.

MacBook Pro OS x Mavericks. I have Sandisk 256GB SSD and I am getting a below error message.
ALERT: The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system.
Does anyone know how to resolve this error and fix it ? unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup. Thanks!

Have you tried to run the verify/repair permissions and verify/repair disk through the recovery disk? If that didn't work then I would reinstall the OS after backing up. If that still doesn't work I would take it in.

How do i make an EFI system Partition

Today, I rebooted my 2009 Macbook Pro and I tried to bootcamp, when it said "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows." I went to disk utility to see if there was a problem, so I verified the disk. When I verified the disk, it said there was a problem in my partition map and "This disk doesn’t contain an EFI system partition. If you want to start up your computer with this disk or include it in a RAID set, back up your data and partition this disk."

Erase, reformat, and partition the HD. The EFI partition is created when you do that.

How do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?

I don't have good news. You will need to repartition and reformat the hard drive in order to determine if the drive is still OK or if it needs to be replaced. If your computer is a 2011 model or later do the following:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
If your computer is pre-2011 model, then locate the original installer discs that came with the computer. Then do this:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can now download a version of OS X from which to upgrade from your Purchases page in the App Store.

I finally managed out what is the problem.
The problem is that Fedora Installer (anaconda) wrote the MBR code to disk. so the UEFI partition isn't read by BIOS (I think, not sure).
The solution for me was erase the protective-MBR:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
and then fix the GPT:
# gdisk /dev/sda
## just type 'w' and confirm
after that reinstalled the gummiboot and voila
Thanks to all and sorry my very bad english.

Gummiboot error : file system is not a fat efi system partition (ESP)

I am at the point the guide tells me to do some specific work because I got UEFI motherboard
I did a fat 32 partition (type ef00) of 1G , which is my sda3
I created a dir /mnt/boot
I mounted the sda3 there
I type pacman -S gummiboot
result is File system /boot is not a fat efi system parttition file system
error: command failed to execute correctly
I don't get what I did wrong or what I understood wrong in the wiki. My partition is fat32, I try to install the bootloader gummiboot there but I take that error msg even if it's indeed formated as fat32.
edit: i've run the pacstrap -i /mnt base , everything worked smoothly and fast.

Hopefully you also say this line:
gummiboot install wrote:Copied /usr/lib/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi to /boot/EFI/Boot/BOOTX64.EFI.
The \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi spot on the ESP is special. It is the "default" spot, which was originally intended to ensure that a UEFI USB flash drive, or other external media, would be able to boot. So in those cases, there is obviously not going to be a firmware entry as there potentially are for internal devices. So with external media, it finds the first ESP it can and automatically boots whatever is placed in that position. After a while, this feature started to be implemented to the internal devices as well.
This of course has its benefits, but also downsides. It means that you can actually boot UEFI without making an efibootmgr entry at all. You can instead set the machine to boot from the device (as though you were booting with the old MBR system) and have things set to UEFI. It will then, like the external devices, find the first ESP and then boot the \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi, whatever that is. But this also has made it so that different installers will "compete" for that default spot. So although gummiboot copying itself to that spot is in my opinion, convenient, I believe the microsoft installer will also make an attempt to write over this as well. Hence, it is better (but not essential) to have a firmware entry.
As far as the efibootmgr mounting issue you had, it may be that the info is not in the beginners guide simply because of the recent changes to the efibootmgr binary. See this section of the UEFI wiki page to understand what happened. Baiscally there is a new system in the kernel for EFI variables, and we have now switched fully. But I also agree with jasonwryan here that it is also likely that there just simply has to be a balance between providing a nice up to date layout of the installation process in the beginners guide, while not totally regurgitating every single but of information from the rest of the wiki.

Recovery and EFI System Partitions both reading 100% Free after I Factory Reset

I own a Hp Envy dv7 Notebook PC running Windows 8 64Bit for about 1 year now. I recently did a Factory Reset, now my Recovery and EFI Partitions say 100% Free on both partitions. I used the recovery disks I made two days after I purchased computer.

Hi,
Is it "Factory Reset" you mentioned inside Windows(Change PC settings\General\Reset)? After you execute this feature, it would remove all the file in your current system drive and reinstall your system in fact. However it won't make any influence with
other drive.
In addition, generally speaking, OEM Recovery and EFI partitions should be hidden, how did you find them 100% free? I'm sorry for your loose, to fix this problem, you may need contact HP support for further assistance.

Window System Image Backup Fails to Back Up EFS System Partition

I am trying to use WBADMIN to take a complete system image of my system with the following command:
wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:[NETWORK SHARE] -include:C: -allcritical
WBADMIN is able to create shadow copies of all the volumes on my system, but when it begins to create a backup of the EFI System Volume, it fails immediately:

The system is encrypted with Bitlocker, and does not have a TPM. I am also running Carbonite, but I have disabled it and the results are the same.
No data is actually written to the log files either, which is strange. The GUI System Image Backup utility also provides virtually the same error. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Try to test in WinRE to see what the result is.

Installed Mavericks and now my system partition needs repair

Hi All,
I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday, but after the install my MBP's performance/responsiveness was substantially degraded.
Today (after reading posts from users experiencing similar issues on the forum) I ran disk utility. After verifying the disk, the utility told me there was a problem with my system partition, and that I would need to run disk utility from recovery mode (cmd + r).
I did so, and when I verify the disk from recovery it returns: "The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system". When I attempt to repair the partition, I receive an alert that: "Live file system repair is not supported".
Now I can't even boot into the log-in page, and the only area I can access (aside from the blank grey screen with a picture of a folder on it) is the recovery mode. I would really like to avoid re-installing Lion from recovery mode and losing all my programs, settings, etc. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My two cents: I upgraded to Mavericks and found the EFI corruption error when verifying permissions immediately afterward. Tried the install a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a fluke. I was unsure how to get Lion back on the laptop, as the Mavericks istaller had updated my HD Recovery to 10.9, and my back up was manually done; I wanted a truly clean install without using migration assistant or Time Machine.
However, by completley erasing my hard drive and doing internet recovery, Lion was available. I'm back in business with a clean install of Lion and won't be trying Mavericks again anytime soon.
Incidently, my OS volume was okay and I could use the computer. As far as I could tell, only the EFI partition was corrupted. Not sure of the long term effects of that, but assume I wouldn't be able to accept firmware updates in the future at the very least, and who knows what else might develop, as several of the other posters here are experiencing. Feel like I got off relatively lucky.
I mostly wanted to point out that the machine's original OS recovery should be available via internet recovery, even after the Mavericks install has removed that option from the HD recovery.

System Partition Not Set. Bcdboot failed! bcdboot.exe

Hey guys,
I have an issue that I can't get past, and I've completely run out of ideas.
I have an SCCM 2012 SP1 server and it has KB2801987 applied.
From this server, I run a Windows 7 Enterprise x86, and a Windows 7 Enterprise x64 task sequence for bare metal deployment to workstations.
Everything works perfectly fine, EXCEPT when I deploy the Windows 7 Ent x64 WIM, and I've used bootable USB media.
PXE Booting a machine, and running the task sequence that deploys Win7x64 = works perfectly.
Advertising the Win7x64 task sequence to a machine = works perfectly
Booting from a 32-bit boot usb media, running the Win7x64 task sequence -> downloads the boot(x64) WinPE image, then starts deployment = works perfectly
Booting from 64-bit boot usb media, running the Win7X64 task sequence = Task Sequence Error (0x8004005).
I've recreated my USB boot media several times. I've tried different brands/models of USB keys, and I always get the exact same error.
And this is the same error that always happens in my SMSTS.LOG. It seems it can't set the boot partition, and fails at the every end of applying the WIM image. And again, this is ONLY when I use USB boot media for THIS particular task sequence.
The exact same TS, WinPE boot image and WIM image work just fine when deployed via any other method. I guess the only thing I haven't tried yet is to make a bootable CD with the same media to see if I get the same issue. I will try that as soon
as I can.
But any ideas/help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

I am getting the exact same issue as the original post, however strangely only with one model of computer (HP Compaq 6300 Pro tower desktops).
We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 but are not using PXE, USB media only.
Same symptoms, running a deployment task sequence for x64 Windows 7 Enterprise makes it all the way through the Apply OS step which installs a .wim I've captured previously and fails when attempting to copy down the WinPE environment to continue the task
sequence.
All boot images have been updated to WinPE 4.0 and have the according driver packs added. My format and partition step creates 1 partition to use the whole drive. We do not use a separate partition for system reserved because our FDE product does not play
well with encrypting that partition because it is not an active partition.
Running the initial attempt from an x64 boot key results in failure, but running on an x86 boot key that requires the x64 boot image for deployment will complete. After the initial failure from the x64 key, the machine can't even be deployed from an x86
boot key because it still fails to write to the partition. No combination of diskpart and format from the command prompt has been able to get it deployed yet.
Any other ideas or steps to troubleshoot? I'm open to anything because this is hindering our ability to fully migrate to our 2012 environment.

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks." Error

Hey Im getting the following error when trying to install windows from a USB.
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
I installed the windows 8 (64bit) iso using boot camp to a usb. I was able to do this after changing the info.plist to allow me to place the iso on the usb. After I make the partition and start the install, I get the above error. I formatted the partition in the installation but I keep getting this error. I've repreated the entire process but i keep getting this errror and the disk utility says my partition is a Windows NT File System (NTFS) so im not sure what's going on. If you can help me that would be greatly appreciated

I am having the same problem. Windows is trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
This is the Windows error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
I am not sure what Csound1 is suggesting with that post above. There are some involved suggestions over here <https://discussions.apple.com/message/23548999#23548999> about using Disk Utility to delete the Boot Camp partition and create new ones - is that the idea?

Windows cannot be installed to this disk 0. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks

Hi All,
I have been trying real hard to install Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro early 2011 model. I followed the instruction given by Bootcamp word to word, all things went very smoothly untill I was asked Windows Setup Instaled to selct the Hard drive. Here's the error:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk 0. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks...."
Let me know guys what should I do?
Thanks,
Attiqe

You have started the Windows 8 installer in EFI mode, and you don't have to start in EFI mode on a Mac because your Mac emulates a BIOS and a MBR partition table in order to install Windows in non-EFI mode.
To start the Windows installer, hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting and have a look at all the boot options you have. You should see two with a DVD above and they must be named "Windows" and "EFI Boot". Choose the option with "Windows" and follow the steps to install Windows. Note that you have to format the "BOOTCAMP" partition from the installer to be able to install Windows.
If you are trying to install Windows from a USB drive, note that your computer isn't compatible to do it
