I'm trying to create a Windows 8 snapshot using:

C:\Windows\system32>recimg /createimage C:\snap
Source OS location: C:
Recovery image path: C:\snap\CustomRefresh.wim
Creating recovery image. Press [ESC] to cancel.
Initializing
100%
Creating snapshot
20%
The recovery image cannot be written.
Error Code - 0x80042316

Sometimes recimg works and creates the snapshot without issue other times I get the error above.
I'm using Windows 8 Release Preview Build 8400.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Looks like it is having trouble completing the snapshot if it stops at 20%.

Possible issue with vss or not enough space to store the bitmap.

Strange it says image could not be written.

I got the similar problem as well on Windows 8 CP:

I'm unable to find anything specific to recimg for error code 0x80042316, but I did find something referring to VSS
Volume Shadow Copy Error 0x80042316 - snapshot set in progress

Volume Shadow Copy Error 0x80042316 - snapshot set in progress
This warning is given typically when the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is unable to run due to another instance of VSS already running.

I should have plenty of free space available for creating the snapshot so I don't think that's the issue.

Does this mean that I would just have to wait until VSS has finished or maybe restart it?


During further testing I started getting a different error as well:

C:\Windows\system32>recimg /createimage C:\snap
Source OS location: C:
Recovery image path: C:\snap\CustomRefresh.wim
Creating recovery image. Press [ESC] to cancel.
Initializing
100%
Creating snapshot

The recovery image cannot be written.
Error Code - 0x800703f1

Any ideas on that one?

Thanks

You may want to try testing on Windows 8 Release Preview instead. They have made changes to recimg that may fix the problem you are having.

It doesn't matters whether you use CP or RP! We're getting errors on both....

It seems that you don't use Windows partition to boot. You shoule use Parted Magic to set boot flag to this partition
