I'm trying to create a system image, as I've gotten a new SSD and want to use the image to save time on backing up specific files, programs, settings, etc.
However, when I try to create a system image I get the following error:
The backup failed.
The read operation from the volume shadow copy on the source failed. (0x80780029)
Additional Information:
STATUS_WAIT_1 (0x80070001)
Now, I've tried troubleshooting this problem through quite a few various methods from looking around at people having the similar issue.
I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, but I'd like to eliminate it as a possibility. But, it seems my OS and my EFI System Partition are on different drives. I'm not entirely sure how this happened.
As you can see in this image. My OS is on a 120GB SSD and for some reason my 240GB SSD just seems to be one big EFI System Partition. To test this I removed my 240GB SSD and tried to boot just from the C: drive and received a BCD error upon bootup, so I'm guessing the important boot files are on the 240GB SSD and not on my C: drive. Could this be what's causing me issues during the system image backup?
I have tried relocating the EFI partition to my C: drive but that doesn't seem possible as I cannot partition the drive without formatting it.
So I figured the next best thing would be to see if I could just get my C: drive to boot without the need of the other drive, so I can keep the other drive unplugged and run a system image backup to see if I still receive errors.
Things I've already tried:
Any insight or anything else I should try? Am I just out of luck from messing up my EFI System partition?
Thanks for your time!

Things I've already tried:
- Running windows auto repair from Windows RE
- Running SFC and CHKDSK on both drives
- Tried bootrec /FixMBR, /FixBoot, and /RebuildBcd
- Tried bcdboot c:\windows /s c:
- Tried various other commands in Windows RE CMD (too many to list)
- Made sure Volume Shadow Copy and Windows Backup services are both running and set to automatic
