You are not able to boot and install Windows XP from the TFTP boot menu due to the way ramdisk and memdisk handle the system.

Seems like the Google Toolbar is causing issues with Internet Explorer. Disabling the toolbar has improved things.

Well, if it’s deploying RAW and you get a bootable image and want to use it… I guess I’d deploy it, verify the hidden 100mb partition was restored by Windows, sysprep it, then upload the image again as Single Partition/Single Drive, and it should be able to resize it as intended and save you a lot of space and deploy time.

Unless I’m missing something or not understanding something else, I think that might work.

If you wanted to be sure, I’d just start with a new image of a fresh Win7 install that had the 100mb partition and verify your fog setup is accepting the Single Partition/Single Drive upload before attempting anything else. It’ll save a lot of time down the road, in my opinion. Once you’ve verified that part is working as intended, it’ll be easier to find any other issues that might occur.

Thanks for the reply. We have chainloading implemented. The problem turned out to be a missing file or files that weren’t copied correctly during the setup phase. Re-copying the files fixed the issue. Thanks again.

You really should be using FOG 0.32 and sysprep’ing your images.

I would be using 1 image for all rooms, as long as they are from the same hardware set.
Simply enable / disable the ‘Hostname Changer’ service per Host.

In regards to the Hostname Changer not working:
[LIST=1]
[]Open or preferably ‘tail’: c:\fog.log
[]Look for: HostnameChanger
[/LIST]
Are there any errors reported? It may take a few minutes for errors to appear.

Adding a row in the images table is not hard. But, there is currently there is no way to determine if the image is empty or not. This will be addressed in coming versions.

In the future, please create your own thread for your questions.

DHCP reservation is acceptable, i personally prefer static IP’s for most servers.

Update: After following your suggestion, I got a step farther.

It was able to detect the hard disks in PXE. I got passed my error.

[S]But now there is another error,[/S]
[S]Error now says : *unable to move /images/dev/000c29769fc5 to images/2k3[/S]

This worked for me, the above issue was not encountered when I ran it on a real server. (Only the VM gave the error)

Thanks Bryce for the assistance… and thanks to everyone who helped FOG become the most awesome tool ever![S][/S]

[quote=“rixter, post: 474, member: 168”]Blackout, are you sure this isn’t an initrd issue? I was thinking I had some issue where I changed out my init file and it took care of something similar to this.[/quote]
No 🙂 Its just my best guess 😛

It could indeed be another issue.

Am I reading this right, you have windows and debian on the same pc, and on that pc you have fog installed and you want to ghost the windows partiton from the same pc that fog+debian is on? Maybe pulling your hard drive from the other pc, installing it in the pc with windows 7 on it, booting to debian (not windows) and learning how partimage works would be your best option here… You really need fog on a seperate PC than you are trying to pull a ghost from…

Thanks! but turns out my WOL wasn’t working because I had to update the driver of the NIC card, and then it only works during standby and hibernate… also, my switches were of the unmanaged type, so i didn’t have problems 🙂

Wouldn’t hurt to give [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/pxe-boot-goldmemory.12/page-2#post-368[/url] a shot. It should be fairly easy to setup and might fix your issue.

Hi
I just upgraded to the latest and it worked. i dont think there was something wrong with the old version coz it was working before. may be installing the new version has fixed some error in my old installation.
regards

here you find step by step guides for different os:

Thanks - I’ve been studying the code. Looking forward to the next release. FOG’s already been a game changer for me over using just an old copy of ghost and pxe/bartpe.
