Blinking cursor after imaging Windows 7 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex GX250

Hello all,
I have uploaded the image successfully, it seemed to image on the client PC successfully but when it tries to boot to the HDD it sticks on a black screen with a white blinking cursor…any ideas/thoughts?

Can you start the system in a debug task (either upload or download debug whichever is needed)

When at the terminal prompt run:
gdisk -l /dev/sda

What’s the output?

I received as follows:

[root@10/]# gdisk -1 /dev/sda

Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: not present

Found invalid GPT and valid MBR: converting MBR to GPT format.

What type of image is it?

What I mean by this is is it NTFS - Resizable or MPS?

It looks like you’re only running one partition for Windows 7. I don’t think resizable likes this method quite yet.

[mlnancejr8808]

single disk, ntfs only, resizeable

[Tom Elliott]

Could you try uploading as MPS and re-downloading to system to see if that helps?

[mlnancejr8808]

Tom,
I loaded it as MPS. It works great now! Thank you for all your help!

Multi Partition Single Disk Its part of the disk type assignment for the image.
