A Workaround Without Repartitioning:

When trying to make a system image of Windows 7, I got error 0x80780119.  After searching this thread (plus others), I found my 100 MB System Reserved partition had grown a large USN journal.  I assigned it drive letter F:.

Fsutil usn queryjournal F:

Then I ran this command to clear and disable the USN journal on my System Reserved partition:

fsutil usn deletejournal /N /D F:

This freed 48 MB.  The USN journal on my System Reserved partition remained disabled after a reboot, which I verified by re-running the query.  Subsequently, I was able to make a system image without error.

Look here for details on FSUtil: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788042(WS.10).aspx

    Thanks, Mr. Blackshear! This did the trick for me. In the past, I had been able to add Shadow Storage to an SRP to get enough room to change the ACL on System Volume Information. I didn't even think that should work, but it did. I needed to whack AppAssure logs that were filling up the SRP.

    On this server today, however, that didn't work and I found your post about deleting the USN journal. That got me just enough space to fix the thing.
