Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source
- by SuperFurryToad
The following error is preventing me from cloning a Windows 7 64bit computer.
Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code: 2147754754 (0x80042302)
I'm using VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone Client 4.0.1. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
When I checked the services running, I noticed that the Volume Shadow Copy Service was set to manual. So I started the service and switched it to automatic. It still didn't work after that.
I checked the event logs and I got the following errors:
Event ID: 22
Description:

This might happened if an error occurred during Windows setup or during installation of a Shadow Copy provider.
