Windows 8 recimg createimage fails with 0x80070002, why?
- by ezuk
Running Win8 x64. C is an SSD with lots of free space (200GB). I run:
recimg /createimage C:\CustomRefreshImages\Img121105
Output says:
Source OS location: C:
Recovery image path: C:\CustomRefreshImages\Img121105\CustomRefresh.wim
Creating recovery image. Press [ESC] to cancel.
Initializing
The recovery image cannot be written.
Error Code - 0x80070002
The paths specified in the command line are created, and I'm running this in an elevated command prompt, so it's not a permissions issue.
I've googled this but could only find worthless results, including a particularly entertaining one where the "solution" included instructions for creating a screenshot (press PrtScreen). Any help would be most appreciated.
