This is really strange. I wonder whether it is something on your OS disk. Can you post an image of your disk management for checking.

Also you could run diagnostics on your OS drive using the manufacturers diagnostics.
IRS has caused problems for some people. I have it installed on my Sandy Bridge and haven't had problems inc running Macrium. If I need to dump it then I may follow this:
Uninstalling the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology driver - Microsoft Community
I'd suggest this as a last resort.
Hi, here is the picture. I attached a second pic also, the prompt in about disk 1 relates to my OCZ Synapse Cache SSD. I have used this for years. It's a cache SSD which works with dataplex to provide caching across the whole hard drive, ie. hot data. Whenever I did an image with Windows I always uninstall the dataplex as software forcing dataplex to sync all it's data back to the main HD as this is a restriction of the software. I have done this many times without any issues.
And this is what I am trying to image in Macrium (I leave the OCZ cache SSD unticked)
Thanks, Wayne
Your recovery partition is the active partition with the bootmgr. That's not good. I suggest you copy the bootmgr to C (see link) and then you image C only. There is no need for the other stuff..
Bootmgr - Move to C:\ with EasyBCD
Years ago i had an issue where Windows Explorer would crash when i tried to browse a folder.
As i remember it, i figured out it was caused by a corrupt thumbnail that explorer couldn't deal with.
Finding the "bad" file/thumbnail was a pita, but when i did and deleted it, no more problem.
I just completed a quick virus scan which came up clean.
Ok will try diagnostics and report. It's a Seagate momentus 750gb. I'm not really sure how to check the OS diagnostics but google to see if there is a Seagate tool. It's just strange, I have had the Intel Rapid Storage technology driver since I got the computer back in 2011 and it's never been updated or changed so it seems odd it might be causing grief now when I have done numerous images successfully in the past. I am worried there is a bad sector on the HD causing the problem and it's the beginning of the end!
I would use Seagate SeaTools for DOS.
That way you boot from a SeaTools CD, not the HD, and check the HD when Windows is not running.
