Burn the Macrium Rescue CD (the WINPE5 version). Boot the computer with it. There is no need for VSS if you do backups with the Macrium Rescue CD as the "OS" when it runs. When the CD is running, you can back up the regular OS partition, to an external hard drive or other storage device. I don't know if a troubleshooter is available for VSS or not. Check the Win10 control panel, look for Troubleshoot, then type "VSS" in the search box in the upper right, and see if any repair is available. (I can't check my Win10 machine right now, as it is "busy" doing a backup and is running another OS at the moment :-) ) http://knowledgebase.macrium.com/dis...oft+VSS+errors "We also provide a program which will recreate the correct registry setting and re-register all VSS components. Please download one of the below programs to fix your problem: VSSfix 32bit - download VSSfix 64bit - download " HTH, Paul I ran Macrium rescue as you wrote. The image was saved as requested on a separate partition. It took an hour and the image size is 60 GB. Next step is to restore to a separate extra disk. The previous trial (which provoked the initial message) was made wrongly running Macrium from the win 10 OS ! Ah those aged guys ! |

As ~BD~ says, in all probability yes - but you'd be far better imaging your system (the usual suspects are Macrium and Acronis, I think; obviously read up and make sure you get a recent version that is compatible with W10 [I don't know if there is anything weird about W10, but there might be, that older versions of the imagers don't work with]). snipped but read good advice Thanks for saying so, John! :-) |
