Hi all,

 

I try many times to image my Aspire7750 C drive but everytime it pop up 0x80780119 with not enough space error.  My computer C drive only has 750GB and the backup drive has 3TB.  How could it happen and looks like Microsoft never solve this issue.

 

Thanks in advance of any input and solutions.

 

Thanks

    Hi mwb928

     

    I found this problem too, when using the built in Windows 7 imaging tool. It is to do with the system reserved partition. The only way I have found around it, is by moving the system reserved partition to the C: drive using EasyBCD.

     

    Please proceed with caution - whilst Easy BCD is a useful tool, if you are inexperienced, I'd recommend using a different imaging program like Macrium Reflect or Paragon Backup & Recovery, both of which are free. There are also paid for versions around too.

    Hi Finlux,

     

    Thanks for your message.  I would like to ask if you could explain the procedures in detail because I would like to have an original Window image without third party backup software involved.  I have an experimental 250GB hard drive which could perform the trial. I tried few methods posted on the internet without luck.  If problems happen, I could run the Acer backup disks to the hard drive and try again.

     

    From the PartitionWizard boot disc free version, it shows the C drive has window system(108.9GB 25% used), system reserved partition(100MB) and PQservice(15GB) with logical D drive 108.9GB); the total size of the frive is 250GB.

     

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi mwb928

     

    Download & install EasyBCD. On the panel on the left click on "BCD Backup/Repair".

     

    Under BCD Management Options, click "Change Boot Drive"  - Note it will be worth clicking on the "Backup Setting" button. Then click "Perform Action".

     

    Ensure that the new boot drive is C: (from the drop down menu) then Click OK.

     

    Important: Make sure you have a Windows 7 Repair Disk (x86 or x64 depending on your OS) to hand in case things go wrong.

     

    When done, reboot your PC - it will now be booting from the C: drive. The system reserved partition can then be removed (using your Partition Wizard boot disc).

     

    I have no problems at all now when creating an image using Windows 7. I usually do it once a month or so - usually after patch Tuesday!

     

    Good luck - and make sure you take all precautions. You don't want to be left with an unbootable laptop....!
