Windows 10: Cannot create .ISO image of Win 11

I am trying to save an .ISO image of my Windows 11 installation. I have Win11 installed on a 230GB SSD inside my HP EliteDesk mini pc. The target drive I want to save the .ISO to is a 2TB standard HD. The problem is I am getting a pop up after I start the image save, saying I dont have enough room on target drive. This makes no sense cause there is at least 350GB FREE on my external drive where I want to save the image!!!!! I have MORE than enough space!!!! Maybe this picture I attached of the pop up message can shed some light......

Need ISO maker

Um, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't UDF the DVD format?

"The name ISO is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but an ISO image might also contain a UDF file system."

Help, cant create windows image

Hello there, @fullinfusion!

It seems like some sort of an OS confusion has happened with your secondary WD Black and I'm sorry to hear about that. *Frown
Maybe re-formatting it would help indeed as the community already mentioned. I'd suggest to take a look at this step-by-step how to partition and format an HDD: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=PYCoid
Keep in mind that this will wipe clean the drive, so you should backup all important data from the drive somewhere else.
I noticed from the screenshots that your HDD appears as Disk 0, this means that it's plugged in the primary SATA port where the SSD (as an OS drive) should be. Actually it is possible that because of this Windows cannot create the image there. Swap the ports of the SSD and the HDD, this might help as well.

Keep me posted. Hope this helped! *Smile
