Unable to capture C drive using Dism and imageX commands

I am trying to capture C drive using dism command but it did not work, but the same command is capturing E drive. i am using following command.

dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:E:\image.wim /CaptureDir:C:\  /name:"Image File"

I am getting following error.

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9431.0


Error: 32

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

An in the log file the error is:   DISM   DISM.EXE: WimManager processed the command line but failed. HRESULT=80070020

Hi,

As far as I know, Dism command doesn't support hot image backup, that to say, you do need to complete the image backup job at Windows PE enviroment.

The contents of the link below also list the Dism command capture image requirement

DISM Does not capture an image of an active drive. You need to be booted to a different drive or a Windows PE CD/DVD/USB. Prior to doing so, you should ensure that your system is able to use Windows PE 5.0 (The Windows 8.1 PE version) otherwise you need to use Windows 7 version of PE.
