windows System Image fails at about 150 gigs
i'm trying to create a system image (Win7 home ) on an external drive, but it fails after writing about 150gig of an estimated 160gigs. i have done the following...
- chkdsk /r on source and destination - both drives are fine
- using a 500gig external drive with 330gig free & a 1 TB drive with 800 gigs free - both fail at about 150gig
- defrag on destination drive - same failure
- increased external drive system protection level to 100% - same failure
i'm out of ideas... other than backing up & deleting data files before writing the image to get it well below 150gig. is there an image size limit setting or something?
thanks all
