If you ever fail to create a bare metal backup using wbadmin for Windows 2008 R2 due to the fact that the Windows system files resides on the FAT32 partition that is factory created by Dell, and you do not want to convert it to NTFS, follow these steps:

• Open cmd.exe

• Run:

  bcdboot c:\windows /s C:
  

  where C: is the target drive where the system files should reside for booting

• Mark the C: partition as active using Disk Management
• Reboot

• If you run HyperV it will fail. Open cmd.exe. Then run:

  bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
  

• Reboot.
