Advertisement TownPump Thread Starter Joined: Jun 10, 2004 Messages: 27 I have Disk Image 7 running with XP Home and when trying to create a BackUp I get the below msg: An error occurred creating a backup of drive C:\. The Virtual Volume Imaging driver (pqv2i.sys) is not present on the system.Error EC8F000C: Cannot find the Virtual Volume Image driver. A Google search led me to a site that talks about this situation after downloading the file. After installing V2i Protector 2.0 or Drive Image 7.0, one of the following occurs: -- The computer stops at a blue screen when rebooted -- The computer encounters a stop error with KMODE Exception when rebooted. Kinda sounds like the cure may be worse than the illness? Any idea what gives on this? I installed DI7 several months ago and have made serveral Backups with no problem, now this? I thought about doing a re-install but why do that if all I need is this one mysterious file? Where do I get it it? Free? Help is appreciated!
