I have the same problem. I think you (and me) need to install AOFO to be able
to get this up and running.
Look at this link:

To be able to select these things in BE9 Advanced Options you need an AOFO
serial (I think).

I assume that you are referring to BEWS9. If not, forget this reply.

Check the build in Help - About. It must be Rev 4454. AOFO is required for
Windows Server 2003 only if you want to use OFO or Windows 2003 Shadow Copy
service on volumes other than the basic Shadow Copy Components.

Open the selections and select the TEXT view. Then delete the line that has
SYSTEM STATE in it. This happened to me also. No errors anymore.
