So I have been wanting to fix this issue for a while. I want to have a fresh backup file on my computer to use incase anything ever goes wrong and I have to revert to a earlier time. My last backup was back in December and has stopped working since then. I have done a lot to this computer and If I ever have to do a system restore that's the only backup point I could revert to and that's bad. I would loose A LOT of stuff on my PC. Okay so every time I try and run the backup or when it runs on its own I get this error message: The system can not find the file specified. With error code 0x80070002 at the bottom of more information. I'm using a 1TB USB External HDD. Brand is Green Drive. My PC is an HP and is using a motherboard that they shipped it with. This is my motherboard just incase anyone wants to see, because I read this might be a USB chip set issue. [URL] I'm using Windows 7 x64bit.
So I tried creating a backup.I can launch the backup wizard, select the drive I want to save the backup on, then I select "Let Windows decide" (I also tried selecting let me choose and selecting different folders, no difference), after that I get the "overview" but when I click on "Save settings and run backup". That's where the popup error appears saying "The System cannot find the file specified. (0x8007002)"Clicking OK just closes the popup and the wizard.
7 Ultimate on a Lenovo computer, 8 mb RAM, Q8200 CPU. Recently I started getting notifications that my backup failed because the system cannot find the file specified, and the above error code. I'm not specifying any files, and I've reset backup to its default settings, all to no avail. I'm backing up to an external USB hard drive. In fact I bought a new one because I thought the old one was too small
When attempting to backup a system image and/or selected libraries or files on an OEM installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, I am receiving an error message. The initial pop-up states: The Last Backup Did Not Complete Successfully When I click on the pop-up to check the backup and select �More Details,� I see the following message. The System cannot find the file specified Error Code: 0x80070002 No additional information is provided. (And no clue is provided regarding what �file� is not found.) While I am attempting to backup to an external hard drive connected via eSATA, this error also occurs when I attempt a backup to either an external USB drive or a DVD.
I have attempted to run various backup scenarios wherein [a] Windows selects what to backup, [b] I choose a system image only, [c] I choose libraries only, or [d] I choose a very small data directory in a directory outside of the libraries. The error is always the same. When the system image is included, the backup does run for a time before the error message occurs � and a significant amount of data is written to the drive. When I run a file-only backup, the error is almost instantaneous. So far, in attempting to resolve the problem I have taken the following steps (although not necessarily in this order): Confirmed the registry profiles image paths are accordance with the information found at: The Storage Team at Microsoft - File Cabinet Blog : Common causes and solutions to Backup, System Restore, and Complete PC Backup problems - updated!. Everything was correct, no problems found. Ran the system file checker (sfc /scannow) with no errors reported. Scanned all hard drives (chkdsk x: /r) Confirmed that VSS and Windows Backup Services are running via services.msc Although I didn�t think it applied, I tested the Hotfix suggested at: You encounter problems when you move data over USB from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset and at least 4GB of RAM. No success. Reviewed the information at Error code 0x80070002 when you back up files in Windows 7 however the scenarios did not apply and therefore the solutions were not available to me. Checked the error logs at C:WindowsLogsWindowsBackup, but the error log is empty . Ran a Clean Boot via msconfig.exe Attempted to run Backup in Safe Mode, but of course Backup & Restore cannot be run in safe mode, even if I try to start the services manually (Error 1084). Reset Backup Files Configuration, using instructions at: Backup User and System Files - Reset to Default Configuration I am extraordinarily frustrated. This is a new computer, and an almost new installation of Windows. I have obviously missed something, but don�t know what it is. I am desperate for a solution.
I have had many failed attempts at backingup my pc and keep getting the following error message"Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:UsersSeanDesktop2013-01 (Jan). Error The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))"
Critical updates were installed for my Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit desktop yesterday, today I put the computer on and just after the Windows loading screen I receive a Bluescreen for a millisecond before computer immediately restarts. I am them prompted to do a repair when computer restarts which after many minutes brings up the error message 0x80070002. The computer is a self build and has been fine for 3 years but this appears to be a major problem. I cannot afford to lose my files (most are backed up but not all since I only back up every month to an external drive). From the repair screen, I have tried to restore the computer before critical updates were installed (what I feel is causing the problem) but the restore point fails. I cannot enter the desktop and now the startup repair simply hangs.
Last night before I went to bed there was a Windows update, and this morning when I turned the pc on, it just went to this screen saying that something was wrong and i needed to repair. I clicked the repair box, but it didn't wanna do that. So I went into the system recovery tool to go back to (the only restore point) which is yesterday, but when I try and do that, it says "Details: An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x80070002)
I don't know alot about computers, and I'm currently writing this on my laptop, since I can't enter my computer in any way
I have already reported to Sony to but i heard their take their time but thats the one thing what i dont have at the moment so i know many people here know about that stuff to. So anyway. Some time ago SP1 launched for Windows 7. I installed but it but something went it wrong and it didn't install correcly and then i was forced to use System restore. Everything worked and i haven't used SP1 because i don't want to risk screwing up my computer before some important things, i got plenty of time later for that . The problem is after the system restore every time Vegas launches i get a error : Sony Vegas pro 10 an error occurred starting Vegas Pro Error 0x80070002 (message missing).
I have Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit. I have never had SP1 before. I recently used system restore to roll back a few days and now when I try to install have Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit. I have never had SP1 before. I recently rolled back my PC a few day with system restore, then updated Windows to the newest updates. I downloaded SP1 32-bit and when I try to install it, it installs right to almost the end and gives me: Error 0x80070002.
After saving money for quite while, i was able to finally buy a new pc, i had assembled other pc`s for my friends and never had any trouble installing windows on their systems, but now, every time i try to install windows 7 x64, the computer hangs while extracting windows files, then, after some time it prompts me with the error 0x80070002, saying that it didn`t find the required files, so i tried with many suggestions:- Updated to the latest BIOS.- Switched the RAM modules from A2 and B2 to A1 and B1 (my cpu fan was in the way so i had to buy another, and yup, i`m living on cup noodles).
- Ran memtest x86+ for 8 hours (no errors)- Ran sea tools but it didn´t detect any drives (still don´t know why, and the windows 7 installer detects the hdd just fine, also tried it on another computer and works fine)- Switched sata cables, switched sata connectors.- Switched from ahci to ide on the Bios, but it didn´t detect any drives after that, so i returned to ahci.- Disassembled all the pc and re-assembled it, re-checked every connection with every install guide 3 times- Tryied to install again, several times, with the same problem, never getting beyond the 48% extraction, mostly 12%, 9% and so on.And right now, i´m poor, un-able to work, and dangerously nearing towards un-employement (sold my previous computer to buy this one, my savings are gone, and can´t afford to get sick, a little problem called "living in Mexico"
i've recently decided to reinstall windows 7 64bit because my computer started freezing up occasionally while browsing, playing games or even watching Internet videos... the freezes would pass after a few minutes and the computer would recover and start up/shut down would take a long time as well. so i thought that reinstalling windows might work as i haven't done it in a long while. but i encountered a problem while installing windows 7 64bit, i receive these errors (0x8007045d and later after trying a few things it changed to 0x80070002 both times it stated something about files missing or being corrupt) while on the "extracting windows files" section of the setup.
i've done a clean install every single time and formated my hdd (seagate barracuda 7200.10 320gb) but got an error every single time but at various %'s (once it went up to 70% other times it would get stuck as soon as 5%). i've tried switching ram's, switching dvd drives, disconnecting my gpu but nothing seems to work... has my hdd died? or perhaps my mobo or cpu is acting up? i burned my windows 7 iso's myself via imgburn - i've used the slowest possible burn speed (x2) and did it multiple times but every single dvd gave same error. also i've tried multiple iso's and downloaded them multiple times as well to confirm they didn't get corrupted while downloading.
my specs: os: formatted hdd right now but previously i used windows 7 64bit motherboard: intel bearlake g31 (i think, not sure... its such an old mobo) cpu: intel core 2 duo 3.3ghz gpu: geforce 9600gt - tried removing but didn't work ram: ocz 2x2gb 800mhz ddr2 - tried switching to an exact same pair from another computer but it didn't work hdd: seagate barracuda 7200.10 320gb dvd-rom: not sure but i tried two different ones, both producing errors
I have just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 ( A few days) and after a look around thought I'd do a Back-up but I received an error message that it couldn't be completed with Error - 0x80070002.
So, please, can someone explain this and how to overcome it.
I recently have had major issues with my HP pavilion dv6 laptop. I bought it about a year ago, and it has worked reasonably well until now. I downloaded some iso files, and I wanted to run them, because they were an old game that I really liked of my friends, but he sold it. I tried to copy it onto a disk, but the disk was playing up, so I downloaded DAEMON tools lite so that I could install it. I then had to restart the computer, as you have to with new software, and It seemed fine. I then turned on the computer the next day, and the CHKDSK program ran. I didn't worry about this too much, it happens occasionally.but when the computer started up properly; it wouldn't run any programs. when I tried to get things to go, it would always come up with a balloon in the corner saying that the file system structure is corrupt or unusable, please run CHKDSK on file system C:. So I did. The next day(today), everything worked fine. I could do just about everything. I told CHKDSK and the memory diagnostics tool to run while I was at school. I didn't notice anything bad at the time. Everything worked when I got home from school; except that most of my gadgets had no writing on them, which concerned me a little, and some of my startup programs didn't start.
While trying to save an image to an external hard drive, I get a message saying "Failed to complete, file 0x8007002 not found". I'm running the Windows 7 Evaluation copy.
I'm having probleam installing the is UG version of Windows 7 Pro for students. I followed the directions here, and converted the iso into usb bootable disk, and everytime i run the disk it keeps getting me an error.
"Windows was unable to locate required installation file [boot.wim]. Verify that the installation source is valid. and restart the installation."
Error code: 0x80070002
I am trying to do a dual boot, keeping my current xp into Asus eee box b202.
After my computer got a virus, I decided to perform a clean install. In the middle of installing, it says, "The file does not exist. Makes sure all files required for installation are available , and restart Error code:0x80070002".
while I try the troubleshooting wizard in my computer, I receive the message which says that it can not continue due to the error code 0x80070002. this is because I want to reactivate a software called epiinfo7 which has stopped working. so how this error code can be removed?

I believe this has something to do with the windows update I installed previously. I am not 100% sure I did install it before the errors started happening, but I am pretty sure. I have full administrative permissions. I was able to install a ".NET" frame work, however, it did not fix my problem.
I have a Win7 64-bit system and have been successfully using Windows backup on an approximately monthly basis. I ran it before going to bed last night and woke up to a "The backup failed." when I tried to create a system image of both of my hard discs. The error is "Incorrect function. (0x80070001)". I found a workaround solution at Windows backup or restore errors 0x80070001, 0x81000037, or 0x80070003 and looked up and found a number of "junction points", most rooted at c:UsersDilipAppData - but the problem is that there is no such folder.
Does anyone know what would cause the following backup error?
The backup was not successful. The error is: Windows Backup encountered a problem while determining additional locations of one of the users included in backup. (0x81000038).
When I run Windows Backup to save an image to the D: drive (have not tried other drives) I get 0x8007042d after it has run about 12% of the job.The error says, "Windows Backup Troubleshooting options - Check your backup - The service could not start due to a logon failure - Backup location D: - error code 0x8007042d After formatting D: the Backup function gave me the error when I tried to launch Backup, so at the moment I can't even start the backup. Error says, "Tha backup application could not start due to an internal error: The service did not start due to a logon failure. (0x8007042d)".Checked Volume shadow copy service right after the launch failure and it shows the service is running.I suspect the problem started when I installed or uninstalled Acronis backup software 2011 Home flavor. I removed all the Acronis entries in the registry, ran their fix utility, etc. No help.I also have Carbonite which also makes an image of C: and saves it on the P: drive - paused Carbonite and Windows Backup still gives 0x8007042d.
Carbonite was installed about the time Acronis was uninstalled. Carbonite seems to be working fine.At about the same time...I started noticing Not Responding events with a variety of programs. I have a 16gb ReadyBoost flash drive.

AFter completeing a backup on my external hard drive I got a message that some files were skipped. Various files were skipped and not backed up because they are on corrupted drive C:/ (144502_error). The notepad details indicated skipped files from My documents, pictures, desktop, downloads, favorites, etc. Is this something I need to be concerned about & rectify and if so how?
Im currently running a Dell XPS, using windows 7 64 bit. I just bought a new external hard drive, the Iomega Ego Portable Hard Drive. Im trying to backup my pc to this drive.Whenever I backup, I get the error 0x8078002a I've searched the forums using the code but not found anything. I have done what the solution stated on Error message when you try to perform a full backup on a Windows Vista-based computer: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"; the Chkdsk took about 3 hours.I then tried again, but the same error occurred!My laptop is only ~2 months old, and my external hard drive was bought today so unsure of what I can do.
I get a message that says " Windows skipped backing up system image because one of the critical volumes is not having enough free space. Free up some space by deleting unnecessary files and try again."I am trying to back up to a external HD with 163 GB free out of 232 GB. I have been to windows answers and they have nothing but suggestions that are way over my head. Each moderator has a different solution, it appears that MS is aware of this problem but does not have a cure. How is one supposed to create a backup and restore.
I have a 3 year old Alienware desktop running Win 7 Professional. I have never had any major problem including running weekly backups to a second internal hard drive using Windows backup. About 3 weeks ago the backup failed and produced the mentioned error code. The description of the error is misleading and makes you think that you have insufficient room on your backup drive. I subsequently replaced the drive with a larger one but the problem persisted. I then researched (including here) the error code and found "solutions" that were all over the map including some frankly worthless responses. The most frequently described cause is attributed to lack of space in a 100 MB "system reserved" partition on the boot drive. When I checked my drive this partition was not present. I had an OS partition, a Recovery partition, and a 16 MB unlabeled partition. I thought that perhaps the 16 MB partition was supposed to be the 100 MB partition and, because it was too small, was causing the backup problem. I then took my computer to Data Doctors.
