Hi,

When I build my image in Target Designer I use a HDD on a USB-to-IDE
adapter as the destination, this saves having to copy the image after
it's built.
However Windows creates an unremovable folder called 'System Volume
Information' on the drive immediately after I connect it, which causes
the build operation to fail when it tries to wipe the destination.
I have done a bit of googling and it seems this is created by the
'system restore' feature of Windows. I have tried turning off System
Restore for the external drive but this didn't make any difference.
The only solution I have found is to use Process Explorer (from
www.sysinternals.com) to delete all the file handles which point to
System Volume Information (and subfolders) and then delete the folder
manually and start the build process again before it gets re-created.
Usually there are 5 - 10 handles open, all owned by SYSTEM, so this is
a real PITA.

Anybody else had this problem, and what did you do about it?

I build to a folder on my hard drive, format the target drive and then
copy the files over.
