The error message that you posted begs the questions: which operating system is installed, and what are the file systems of your partitions? Any RAID (software or hardware)? Ghost reports all warnings and errors to the Windows Event log. Could you look at the application event logs and check for any warnings/errors from Ghost, Ghost Service, V2i, Volume Shadow Copy Service, etc? Have you run LiveUpdate in Ghost until there are no more updates?

 

Any additional information you can provide is appreciated. Thanks! 

I am using Vista Home Premium.  File Systems are NTFS.  No RAID software or Hardware that I am aware of.  I've looked at the Windows even log and these are the most appropriate entries, but I have n idea what they mean.

Hi Jrestrepo:

 

Sorry to hear you're having problems. There are several reasons for this error, but you'll need to find out why the Microsoft VSS service is failing. Following is a link with instructions to further troubleshoot this on your own, if you're so inclined.

Hope this helps and feel free to post back with results.
