Diagnostics show no errors. It is a hitachi disk in a Lenovo R61 laptop. I also tried a BIOS update, with no result and after that i tried changing the SATA mode from AHCO to Compatibility mode, also with no result. I gave up, it seems like this laptop cannot be imaged with ImageX.

We just made a backup of the data with ghost. That was slow, but it finally worked. After that we restored the ghost image to another computer. And on that computer we tried to make an image file again. The strange thing is, that this worked normally and also very fast. So the problem must have something to do with the specific computer. We already performed a chkdsk /R on drive D:. This results in no errors. Also the eventviewer does not show any errors. Defragmentation is also done, no prblems. On drive D:, we have 15 GB free space. Conclusion: at the moment we still do nog have an idea about the solution here Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, these files do exist on the system. We start the computer with WinPE 3.0, which is booted from PXE. Once WinPE is started, we start the capture. The image is written to a networklocation. The amount of memory on the system is 1.97 GB. Any ideas already?

Hello, I posted the command line output below. The file that is mentioned is a different one every time. Hopefully this helps.. ImageX Tool for Windows Copyright © Microsoft Corp.

Hello, We are planning the deployment of Windows 7 and currently have Windows XP installed on our computers. The idea is that we make a backup (is nessesary) of the Windows XP installation using ImageX. In a lot of cases this works fine and we can extract files from the WIM file using 7-zip. However, sometimes is seems not possible to capture a drive. We receive Error = 2 The system cannot find the file specified. We already tried a chkdsk /R on the drive, but this gives no solution. We do see "Large file records" while running chkdsk, but we are not sure is this has something to do with the problem. Has anyone experienced this problem before or has anyone got an idea about the solution? Kind regards, Aittersu

Hi, Although this message is from a long time ago, we do have these problems as well. The message with ImageX is Error = 2 : The file specified cannot be found. Is there a good way to find out what is exactly causing this problem? We have one partition which cannot be captured with ImageX. It fails every time, with different files. Can it be that this has something to do with large filenames? On the drive we are capturing, there are a lot of files which are stored in folders with long file names and also the files themselves have very long file names. Does anyone have a good explanation for this Error 2 with ImageX?
