Hi,
I've decided to post here to see if anyone knows how to solve this before I go any further.
Recently I installed a new SSD drive to replace my old SSD drive as the Windows system/C: drive. After a round of using a combination of Macrium Reflect Free (for cloning the system drive) and EasyBCD (to set the boot partition) things seemed to be working fine.
However, after my first attempt to use Windows backup I found that I could not and got the familiar 0x80070002 error with the "The system cannot find the file specified" message without the filename.
Upon more research I found that the filename is not specified because backup is presumably looking for boot configuration data in the "System Reserved" partition.
After trying various ineffective solutions, I found other suggestions that led me to find initially that the "System Reserved" partition was not online. This particular post (pointed to by another TechNet post) seemed to list symptoms similar to my issue: Windows Backup fails with 0x80070002: "The system cannot find the file specified". I found that
I ended up using 'diskpart' to set that partition online but that did not work. Further suggestions online pointed to the fact that the "System Reserved" partition should also be hidden so I changed the partition type ID to '0x17' from '0x07' to make it hidden. Again, that did not work either.
So I am now stuck not willing to go further for fear of screwing up my system drive. The current state of that drive using 'diskpart' output is as follows:
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 2 Online 931 GB 1024 KB
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 3 C NTFS Partition 931 GB Healthy System
Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 Primary 100 MB 1024 KB
Partition 2 Primary 931 GB 101 MB
Partition 1
Type : 17
Hidden: Yes
Active: Yes
Offset in Bytes: 1048576
There is no volume associated with this partition.
Partition 2
Type : 07
Hidden: No
Active: No
Offset in Bytes: 105906176
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
* Volume 3 C NTFS Partition 931 GB Healthy System
Everything else is working fine. Just the items listed above (backup, bcdedit, msconfig, etc.) are not working. I'm not sure but this might also impact restore points as well, I haven't checked.
In any case, if anyone has a way to fix this it would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Darko

- bcdedit fails with the error "The system cannot find the file specified" when run from an admin command prompt
- the msconfig Boot tab is empty and non-functional
- The list of operating systems in the System Control Panel Advanced tab is empty
- Windows Backup fails with 0x80070002.
