system image backup failure - 0x8007001B

[zenden]

Recent install; Windows 7 performs well a System Image Backup all the way to the end or almost when it stops and tells me that SYSTEM IMAGE BACKUP has failed. Then it gives me the error code : 0x8007001B (The drive cannot find the sector requested) but it shows that 110 G have been used (for WindowsImageBackup) on my 2nd SATA HDD, disk D, the destination disk for backup. Of course, Windows 7 is on C. Both HDD are 500G SATA.

Nor Google nor Microsoft provide appropriate answers and solutions.

Thx,

When you did the install, did you have to reinstall your programs?

It was a brand new install so I did re-install all my fomer programms (Office, Adobe MasterSuite, Nero, etc.)

Good, that is the correct answer, to avoid installing again. Now, do this:

I'm on it! Waiting for the results...

If it shows errors, do it several times. It does not always fix it first shot.

The Windows Resource Protection programm has not found any integrity violation

You probably do not have enought space left. How much space for backups?

Brand new HDD 500Go, it already used 110Go for a failed bakcup !!! Still, 370 Go left !!!

Go to computer on Desk Top. Click to see the drives. Let me see a screen shot.

I did a copy of Computer Image with both HDDs with PrtScn but I don't see how to paste it down here ???

When you are posting Click on the paper clip at the top

Use snipping tool to make the image. Type that term in search.

I'm running a dskcheck while we're doing this !

 

[richc46]

That error means that you have a bad sector, so the diskcheck is a good move. Its not a space shortage problem.

THANK YOU! I had the exact same problem except on Win 7/64. I checked all the blogs, tried everything but without success. In desperation I did the "Error-checking" on C:. That reported no problems. I tried the backup again and wonder of wonders, it worked. I'm a bit disappointed though that my new WD Black Caviar 1TB HD had a bad sector so soon.
