        anyway, to see the GPT formatting of the boot structure, create a debug task for the host
        at the command prompt enter
        [FONT=Consolas]gdisk -l /dev/sda[/FONT]
        and tell me the output

                I can’t copy the BCD file; it’s in use by the system. I might be able to open the vmd file in another VM and copy it over.

                      I have the same issue after re-uploading and then downloading. During the download, I see a quick “Database update successful” (I think it says that) message before the system quickly reboots (without downloading the image).

                        What OS type have set the system to, and are you trying “Resizable” or Multipart?

                          I’ve got the image set to “Windows 8” and it’s a Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not resizable). I chose Windows 8 because the disk structure for the Windows Server 2012 installation is almost exactly the same as the Windows 8 installation I successfully imaged earlier today. Thanks!

                            I figured out the issue, and I’m here to report I’m an idiot. 🙂

                            The original Windows Server 2012 installation had a 100GB system partition.

                            When I created the test VM, I used the default of 60GB for a system partition. My bad. The clues were there (Single Disk - Not resizable), I just missed them. If I could make a request: If the target partition is smaller than the source, can an error be sent to the screen, or logged to a file somewhere? It may have reported an error to the screen, but then it scrolls by very fast before rebooting. I’d like to thank both of you for your time in helping me with this issue! It looks like FOG will work very well for us in replacing Ghost.

                              Also, I am a volunteer network admin for a Catholic school in Crystal Lake, Illinois. My kids are long gone, but I still help out even though I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia a couple of years ago. We had been using Ghost 15 (couldn’t afford the network version of Ghost) and a few USB drives to image the 50 or so computers we have. FOG will be a GREAT timesaver for the local technology manager I work with there! Many thanks for your efforts in producing this well done product!

                              Thanks again,
                              Dave.
