    Same Error Here

    I had already created an image and was restoring It back. When the restore process was almost over I got a error message saying that "The parameter was incorrect". So I had to clean install 10 and the image was useless. What was the error?
    I have a fresh share-able 1TB External HDD and it is recognized yet when I run BU or SI it will run for a spell then stop with error messages saying there is not enough room to do it which is odd as there are 931+ GB on a clean HDD. I am wondering if I should have to create a 100mb partition for the thing to work. Any guidance on why I am getting error messages would be greatly appreciated. BTW the W8 & 8.1 tutorial doesn't work either and am running W10.

    Brink are all files on the HHD imaged, or are there certain files that are never imaged ?
    ie: downloads folder

    thanks, cliff

    A system image would include everything on all system drives (ex: Windows and page file).

    Is it possbile to get an index listing of folders/files from an IMAGE datafile without loading on another HHD?

    or Is possble to pick and chose 1 or 2 files to be loaded from an IMAGE file to a HHD?
    thanks Cliff

    Sorry, but it's not possible to pick and choose for a system image.

    I'm not aware of an indexed list since it includes everything.

    Any ideas on why the BackUp or System Image utility runs for a short spell then stops?

    Problem Fixed


    Back Up Failed
    I have just done a clean install and decided to do this image save and things went smooth until right till the end.

    "The specified backup storage location has the shadow copy storage on a another volume" (0x807800038)

    If you get the above error, you need to turn off system protection for your windows drive (via control panel ->system settings) and your back up drive. Also delete all restore points.

    After successfully completed you can turn system protection for c: drive back on.

    Thanks,

    Jay.

    I have culled or cherry picked from Sys Image in W7 you could go to Disk Manage and mount it on a virtual drive and open it and choose what you wanted now as far as W10 goes it's making the image that is giving me fits, it'll run and create a folder and put info on the external hd then stop with error messages. From what I have been able to glean about W10 M$ doesn't want a system image to be created but would rather have a new install as it imprints itself to each mobo and I've tried cloning one and putting it on another pc (fresh install W7 update then do the W10 upgrade migrate it to an SSD) then take the HDD I did the migrate with and put it in my backup pc and it immediately started showing OS messages stating that this is not a genuine copy of Windows. In my mind this is what M$ wanted all along, we as consumers don't own the OS anymore and you gotta hand it to em they figured out a way to make it stick (so far) somebody'll figure out a way to spoof mobo numbers, it's just a matter of time. Had a friend who purchased W7 in a bundle (three) and put one each on his, his wifes and a laptop and it is giving him fits trying get all three to upgrade to W10 and he also is having no luck creating a backup or system image on the ones he has upgraded to W10 on.

    I am having the same issue. Your solution did work (delete restore points) - Thanks!

    Is Microsoft acknowledging that this is broke and fixing?

    I am on the November update and it is still broke ..along with sysprep still!
