      I’m trying to figure out how to make a bootable flash drive with the fog server images. I’ve tried to follow the online steps for creating a bootable flash drive with the FOG server on the FOGproject website, but no luck. I also tried using Clonezilla, but it’s not working either. Can you please guide me in the right direction?

        @professorb24 The solution could be quick and easy or a bit harder but still possible based on why you need to boot via USB.

        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!

          @george1421 I need to boot via USB because it’s a university/school office environment. I’m trying to get images off the FOG server I’ve captured from the FOG server to the USB stick. Any ideas on how to do that?

            @professorb24 Just to be clear you can boot from a usb stick into fog, but you can not transfer fog images to a usb stick for an off-line deployment. You should use clonezilla for that. FOG is only a network based deployment tool. Clonezilla and FOG use a similar data capture engine, but the file formats are not compatible.

            We do have the ability to launch the FOS Linux engine (the OS that captures and deploys server based images) from a USB stick if that will help your situation, but a FOG server is still required in the deployment process.

              You can try using my method for deploy image (not using fog but dism and windows original ISO file)

              1. make sure you sysprep your image with the right unattend.xml file.
              2. boot into some sort of minitool/hirenboot/winpe.
              3. capture your image with dism ex: Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:“U:\Your USB\your_custome_windows.wim” /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:Your_image_name
              4. take the your_custome_windows.wim to your main PC and rename it to install.wim
              5. use anyburn or ultraiso to edit the original windows 10 pro downloaded from microsoft, replace the /source/install.wim in the iso with your “install.wim”
              6. then save the iso as “your_custom_image.iso”
              7. try install window with your created iso.

              hope this help you.

                @george1421: I cannot launch the FOS Linux engine.
