Clone Failed -- error creating volume snapshots

I've used Macrium for a couple of years to install ssd's and never had a problem. I'm on W10 for 2 computers plus 1 which is XP, and the reason I'm posting. I want to put a ssd in my old Dell 630 with XP. I d/l & installed Macrium 7.x, made a rescue disk, and tried to clone the drive. It sees the source Disk1 and destination disk2. But when I initiate cloning I get:

Starting Clone [window opened and the following immediately appeared]
Creating volume snapshots
(in red font) Failed to Create Volume Snapshot Result Code: 0x8000fff
[then popup saying] Clone failed - error 0

Any ideas? Is it XP doing this? Any suggestions besides getting rid of XP?

Thanks,
Alex

Look at the link below:

VSS Error:0x8000ffff - Backup aborted! - Failed To Create Volume Snapshot. - KnowledgeBase v7.2 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase - KnowledgeBase v7.2 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase

Thanks for the links, I'll spend some time today on it.

Railtech, your url solved my problem. VSS was not running. I started it and went to Macrium.
Bastet, I ran the Macrium vss fix function after starting vss.

I did look at the urls others provided and thanks.

Proceeded with cloning and it worked as it should. Thank you very much, I guess I didn't look hard enough in the Knowledgebase. I'm glad nobody picked on me for bringing up an XP problem. It is an old laptop that has a drafting program (16 bit I think) that only runs on XP and earlier, and for the few times I use it I didn't want to dump 10+ years of use knowledge and learn a new program -- cuz they are so much more complex.

Happy to have been of help.
