Volume Shadow Copy Won't Run
I am trying to use a really nice backup utility. (Macrium Reflect)
I have found that my main computer (Dell Optiplex 520 with windows XP SP3)has a problem with VSS. It won't run period. It is started in Services along with COM+ Event System, Com+ System Application, MS Software Shadow Copy Provider,and of course Volume Shadow Copy. I have Googled this issue for three days and tried everything I can find but, no luck. Apparently nobody really knows how to fix this. When running "vssadmin list writers" in a command prompt I get no writers listed, but do get an error message Error: 0x8000fff. This also shows up in my Event Viewer as: Event Type: Error Event Source: VSS Event Category: None Event ID: 12302 Date: 6/5/2012 Time: 3:14:17 PM User: N/A Computer: OWNER-096B7CFAB Description: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: An internal inconsistency was detected in trying to contact shadow copy service writers.

I should mention: I have done a repair installation of Winxp. I have had Acronis 8 on this computer. Never had Shadow Protect on this computer with Acronis 8 that I know of. It is not on here now. When re-registering dll files,all return a message saying registeration OK except vssvs which returns no message whatsoever. I have run Microsoft Fixit utilities, vssfix and vssreset.bat with no result. Thanks, Chuck |

Thanks, Chuck Coming in to this discussion late, but I had a similar VSS failure on my XP Pro system a long time ago, which didn't seem to affect anything except for producing error messages in the event log. Like you, I tried every remedy I could find, but I finally fixed it with the info here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940184 It's stayed fixed (so far) for about a year. -- St. Paul, MN |

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion but I've already tried that. I also discovered by running the command prompt from the system32 folder rather than the default folder that vssvs registers ok. Not sure why. Chuck |

As if one was say XP SP2 and the other was XP SP3, this usually creates all sorts of problems. And it isn't easy to fix all that is wrong after this. So a reinstall or using an older backup copy is far better. I actually use clones instead of archiving backups. As I can swap drives in about 2 seconds. And having more than one model really helps out too. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz - 2GB - Windows XP SP2 |

Volume Shadow Copy Won't Run The Solution
For future reference:
After more than seven days and a LOT of different things tried I found the problem! HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\ContentIndex\Catalogs\System was missing an entry: Location REG_SZ C:\System Volume Information I created the new entry and my problem went away.

Volume Shadow Copy Won't Run The Solution
I was poking around Microsoft's help and support site and I came across
an area showing the contents of various registry entries. I noticed what I thought was an extra line in this(System)entry and when I checked mine, I didn't have that line. So, not having anything to lose, I tried it and it worked. glee wrote: "ka6uup" wrote in message ...

Chuck Good catch, Chuck! What finally brought you to look at that key and value data? Turns out there is a Microsoft Knowledge Base article very specifically about this.... intereseting that it didn't turn up in web searches on this error before. You receive a "Volume Shadow Copy Service" error message and event 5013 or event 12302 is logged when you use the Backup feature in Windows XP or in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907574 -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ |
