      @Brad-Schumann Ok sorry, I think I looked at it the wrong way for a while. Had to turn my head crossways to get a clear view.

      So it looks as if d1p2.img (sda2) and d1p3.img (sda3) of that image on the server are in RAW mode! Not sure why that is but surely you will always see it deploy as RAW if the image is like that. So I need to ask you when did you last upload/capture that image from your master client? Was this back in the FOG 1.2.0 times or more recently? Could you please schedule a debug upload task on your master machine that you want to capture from and run the following commands and post a picture of the output here:

      blkid -po udev /dev/sda2
      blkid -po udev /dev/sda3
      

      Possibly FOG 1.2.0 just assumed NTFS filesystem when capturing windows systems and therefore didn’t have a problem. But as I said FOG 1.4.4 tries to figure out which filesystem you have on the partitions and uses the appropriate type then. In your case it’s unable to figure that it’s NTFS and uses RAW instead.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          @Brad-Schumann Sorry to ask again but this is from the source master system, right?

          And this is Windows 10/7/Vista?

            @sebastian-roth No worries, this is from the the source 5580 that we created (at least that is what my PC team tells me 😞 )
            … and it is Win 10 64bit. I can re-create the image with a fresh version of windows on the master again and re-upload it to my Fog server, a

              @Brad-Schumann No, don’t recreate it yet. Possibly we’ll figure it out. Seems like we need to dig into the udev stuff to see why it doesn’t recognize the filesystem at all. Please post a picture of the output when running this command: udevadm info --query=all --name=sda3

                  @brad-schumann I would like to give you a hint and a request as long as you have the FOS engine running there.

                  First the hint.
                  At the FOS command prompt (as in the picture) do the following

                  1. Key in ip addr show and note the IP address of the FOS target computer.
                  2. Give root a temporary password by keying in passwd then give it a simple password like hello This password will be lost when FOS reboots, so don’t worry.
                  3. Now from a windows computer connect to the FOS engine at the address gleaned at step 1 using putty (3rd party windows ssh application)
                  4. Login with root and the password you defined in step 2.

                  You can use putty to copy and paste stuff into the FOS engine from windows. It makes it easier to key stuff in and post to the forums because you can cut the text directly off the putty window and paste here.

                  Now for my request (if Sebastian already asked for this you can ignore). Key in the following at the command prompt

                  1. fdisk /dev/sda
                  2. At the fdisk prompt key in p
                  3. Copy the contents and paste it here.
                  4. At the fdisk prompt key in q and you will be back at the FOS command prompt.

                  What I’m interested in is the Id value in the 6th column.

                  Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                      @brad-schumann just for clarity this is what I expected to see.

                      Disk /dev/sda: 999.7 GB, 999653638144 bytes, 1952448512 sectors
                      Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
                      Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
                      I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
                      Disk label type: dos
                      Disk identifier: 0x0004a2f3
                      
                         Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
                      /dev/sda1   *        2048     4098047     2048000   83  Linux
                      /dev/sda2         4098048  1952448511   974175232   8e  Linux LVM
                      

                      It just may be the difference in the versions of fdisk program. The Id column tells what the partition ID is marked as. It was not a wasted effort since we have been able to collect more info on your exact hardware.

                      I am bit intrigued that the Type in your screen shot says “Microsoft basic disk”

                        @george1421 Interesting when I boot FOS from my USB drive and run the fdisk program I get the ID column as I expected

                        In my case I have 3 partitions from this Win10 image running in bios/legacy mode.
                        The boot partition is type 7
                        So is the 😄 drive type 7
                        The recovery partition is type 27.

                          @george1421 Probably a difference because @Brad-Schumann has a GPT layout and the one you posted is a legacy DOS layout. Still we see the partition type but in text instead of ID. The output posted looks ok to me. See here as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_basic_data_partition

                          Be careful to not mix up partition type ID and filesystem type. You can label a partition in fdisk to be Linux for example and still format it as NTFS (fs type). Linux will still be happy with that.

                          But I still have no idea why udev wouldn’t identify this to be an NTFS formated partition. @Brad-Schumann Are you able to mount the partition?

                          mkdir -p /mnt/win
                          mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/win
                          ls -al /mnt/win
                          umount /mnt/win
                          

                          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                            @george1421 we are not using legacy mode in the bios we are using the UEFI boot mode.

                                @Brad-Schumann From what it looks like there is no proper NTFS filesystem on sda3. How is it even possible that Windows boots from that? Can you please boot Windows up and post a picture of the disk management dialog. Maybe this can shed a light on this mystery!?!

                                    @brad-schumann Dind, ding, ding we have our answer.

                                    Bitlocker encrypted drive == raw data file to fog.

                                    Bitlocker needs to be activated after the target system has been created not before its captured.

                                        @brad-schumann Try this, I ran into this on Surface’s.

                                        Open command prompt as admin.

                                        manage-bde -off 😄

                                        manage-bde -status 😄

                                        Fingers crossed that it will fix it. In my case, Windows was by default encrypting the free space which caused issues.

                                            @brad-schumann Try this, I ran into this on Surface’s.

                                            Open command prompt as admin.

                                            manage-bde -off 😄

                                            manage-bde -status 😄

                                            Fingers crossed that it will fix it. In my case, Windows was by default encrypting the free space which caused issues.
