Windows 7: Windows 7 backup crash ? Dual Boot

I CAN perform a data backup using the Windows7 backup utility. But I really want the complete system backup to another HD that i have (internal)

When it almost finishes, it stops and has "access violation" or some type of sector unable to read??

can anyone assist?
thanks


I have WinXP on Partition 1, Windows 7 on Partition 2. So only want to image partition 2....



Here is screenshot os setup: Why is partition G:\WinXP always selected? is it because the system image needs the boot.ini for dual boot?

I assume xp installed first then win 7. on dual boot win 7 puts a hidden boot folder in root of XP. If you are trying to back up the system state you do need those.

Hi jlm,

Please post a screenshot of Disk Management window - so we can advise further.
