sys image fails

i've been trying to create a system image, but I keep getting an error saying there isn't enough room for the image which is about 21 gigs, but my 2nd hdd has 243gig of free space.



thanks

bump

anyone know anything about this. I tried doing a system image to a brand new 500gb drive and still got the same error.

thanks

thanks for the reply, i have about 30.6 gb free on the Windows drive, see picture below.

I've been able to make an image with macrium reflect, but for some reason Windows Backup and Restore wont let me, which is strange, and it'd be nice to figure out the issue, I even made sure that I didnt have the services off or disabled. Maye I'm missing one that isn't obvious

The only thing I can suggest is to try & free up some space on your system drive. I would advise the following

• turn off 'System Restore' (temporarily) and run 'Disk Cleanup'.
• Navigate to C:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp and clean that folder out
• then C:\Windows\Temp and clean that out

   Tip

Disk Cleanup does not empty the 2 Temp folders mentioned above, even though it'll say 'clean temp files'

Another very handy tool to use would be ccleaner

I did all the things you mentioned and still no success. Really strange this doesn't want to work. I went ahead and took screen caps of all the error msgs and the info from the event viewer log files, came with an error code "2155348249" so I'll try and google that and see if I can figure this out.

Please post a screenshot of Disk Management.

Hi matt,

You had the same problem ?

Do you have a 100mb system partition?
