    I am having a Home Desktop with the following configuration:

    Single disk of 160 GB - divided into patitions: 0,1,2,3
    Drive: L (Healthy, System Active Primary Partition )  -FAT32-15.00GB -Some Old Data
    Drive: E (Healthy, Logical Drive)                                     -NTFS-15.23GB-WindowsXP MDC - Dual Boot
    Drive: D (Healthy, Logical Drive)                                    -NTFS-09.77GB-Data
    Drive: C (Healthy, Primary Partition,Boot)                       -NTFS-54.60GB-Windows 7-OS-Boot
    Drive: F (Healthy, Primary Partition)                                -NTFS-54.44GB-Data

    I gave a backup on to Seagate FreeAgent Desk (external-USB connected)- It completed for Data & programmes on all drives but ended with an error message : failure to create  image file for Drives L & E - may be on account of FAT32 file system on Drive L which appears to be on partition:0. I tried to convert the FAT32 Drive with the system suggested command (which suggested-CONVERT <Volume> /FS:NTFS (0x8078011D) - but could not do so.

    Any solution?

    vrveerapaneni,

    You use the wrong syntaxis of the convert.exe command.
    Try this in a elevated command prompt.

    CONVERT L: /FS:NTFS

    It seems you forgot the "elevated" part when you ran the command.
    To run an elevated command prompt do this:
    Start | All Programs | Accessories. Rightclick Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.

    Hello Dear JPK,

    I am rather new and a novice in this & I know very little.

    I am on windows 7 and in Drive C. I did try in the elevated command prompt as suggested but there appears to be some problem in the way I enter my command.

    Screen shot:

    I seek an elementary guidance in this regard.

    Hello Dear JPK & Dear DAFT ,

    Thanks for all the guidance you gave in response to my question in this forum.
    I was able to  convert my Drive L:FAT32 File system to NTFS successfully .
    Consequently, I succeeded in taking a back up of System images of my Drives C & L.

    Once again thanking you for all the guidance & support in testing windows 7 RC on my desktop.

    With Kind regards,
    VRVEERAPANENI

    Same problem here. System and boot disk - NTFS (100 mb syst. res. + 150 system disk), but I have raid 0 on JMicron sata controller (Gigabyte GBB36X).
    When I try to create system image - backup says, that one of the disks not the NTFS, or removable disk, or readonly. 0x8078011D
    Any solutions?

    Sorry. :D Problem solved by itself. In the device manager was another controller, named like Standart IDE. When I installed JMicron drivers on it - it's start with yellow triangle, but backup starts without errors. Why JMicron shows 2 identical controllers - dont know. Driver version - 1.17.39.7

    I am finding that the Windows 7 system image capability is brain dead. I have tried to use both a locally connected USB drive (NTFS) and several network locations (NTFS) without any success. I get useless error messages about converting an NTFS drive to NTFS. Tried that (with an elevated command prompt). DID NOT WORK.

    I guess I will continue to use Acronis True Image since that works without issue. Why can't Microsoft software engineers make this type of feature simple and workable?

    1. Start -> Computer -> Right click -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management
    2. Right click on the problematic volume (FAT32) - Right click on system (unnamed drive)
    3. Select "Change Drive letters and Path"
    4. Change it to your desired letter (L or any thing)
    5. Right click again as in 2 and select "properties"
    6. Name it as anything like "SYS" or "SYSTEM"
    7. Start -> RUN command (as adminstrator)
    8. type -------->>  convert L: /fs:ntfs ------- where L came from 4 above
    9. When asked to give the volume name, you give what was made on 6 above
    10. Finally, you create system image and do the backup. It should work now

    It works
