Unable to Initialize Disk

Thanks for the suggestions...

I was able to figure it out after A LOT of google searching.

First had to see what virtualdisks were listed then remove them.

Get-VirtualDisk

Remove-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName <name>

Then get and remove the storage pool

Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "name"

Remove-StoragePool

After that, I was able to initialize like it was a new disk.

Hello Piotr,

There are a few reasons why SFC was unable to fix some of the corrupted files on your system. For us to narrow it down, kindly answer the questions listed below:

• When you run SFC, are you connected to the internet?
• Are there any other troubleshooting steps that you have performed?

We suggest that you run SFC again, but this time kindly run DISM as well. For a simple guide on how to perform these, you can check these articles:

SFC and
DISM.

We'll be waiting for your reply.

5 views Backup Issue - Microsoft 10 - Cannot perform initial backup




My backup stubbornly refuses to run. I can't run the initial backup, therefore the file history backups don't run either. This has been an ongoing problem for quite some time. Suggestions I've received have not worked so far. Following is the problem
and the failed resolution attempts:

• I get this message from the Event Log:

Unable to scan user libraries for changes and perform backup of modified files for configuration C:\Users\Papa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config

Event ID - 201

Level: Error

User - System

*** ---- There is no config file at this directory location. The contents of the location are:

catalog1

catalog2

config1

config2

• In another thread from July, someone suggested checking a particular service (I forget the name just now) is running. It is.

• Two days ago a Microsoft employee suggested the following steps. These steps resulted in no change, still no backup:

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to start and stop the services “Windows backup” and “volume shadow copy” and check if it helps.

• Press “Windows+R” and in the run command box type “services. MSc”.
• Search for the service “Windows Backup” double click on it and check whether the service is started or not, click on “OK” button. I suggest you to stop and start the service again.
• Once done again search for the service “Volume shadow copy” double click on it and check whether the service is started or not. I suggest you to stop and start the service again, click on “OK” button and
  check whether you can perform backup successfully.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

• I performed these steps multiple times. The backup still crashes, with the same error message. In addition I collected the following error message, but only one time:

Unable to start a backup cycle for configuration C:\Users\Papa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config

Event ID: 200

• Can anyone help me with this stubborn problem?

Thank you in advance.
