Digr,

The issue you are having sounds like the Fat32 partition issues I have seen prior. The issue itself is that the 2GB partition you are referring to is configured as a Fat32 partition, which is what stops Windows Backup. Now since the OS is already installed the Fat32 partition must be converted from Fat32 to NTFS from an elevated privilege command prompt.

To begin you will need to first assign a drive letter to the 2GB partition.

Then with the following command you will convert it to NTFS, which will allow the Windows Backup to complete.

convert e:\ /fs:ntfs (where e: is the drive letter you assigned for the Fat32 partition) 

Now on a side note: Simply deleting the partition will result in the boot files being deleted, making the server unbootable.  

Let me know how it goes.

Chris,

Correct, I was referring to the FAT32 partition. This is a production server. Are you sure that this will work?

And how about the missing drivers in Device Manager -> Other devices -> Base system device? Is there anyway to find and install them?

Thanks.

Your solution about the FAT32 partition worked fine!

Thanks
