cant create a windows system image

Solution
If you want to create a 100% usable image, I would recommend using GImageX to create a .WIM image.

These can be applied from the recovery console / boot up repair of any Windows disc. Full system backups can only be applied from a working operating system.

You linked the solution with your question, so I am not sure where to start. You tried running from a command prompt and failed, did you try verifying VSS and SPP were running correctly?

I am guessing you are trying to do a full system backup, but it's generally easier, more efficient, and more useful to run "windows easy transfer" to an external disk or flash drive to backup all your data.
