      Hello Jaymes!

      1st of all, thanks for the ridiculous fast reply. really appreciated. 😉
      2nd: I’ve already formated all partitions and installed a brand new Windows. it only has 2 partitions (that 100mb crap that windows generates, and the other partition wich windows is installed.).

      i was able to do a FOG Image when the disk had Windows 8.1 installed.
      My problem is with this windows 7. I did everything from scratch 5 times now.

      With 2.6.35.7 PS Kernel, i got a Kernel Panic when booting.
      And with other Kernels, it just doesnt work (sometimes appears kernel panic, sometimes “no chip?”

        Looking for hard disks - DONE
        Using hard disk /dev/sda

        udevd[1986]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda2, 10) failed: No such file or directory
        udevd[1985]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda1, 10) failed: No such file or directory

          fdisk -l

              gdisk -l /dev/sda

              Found valid MBR and GPT. Witch do you want to use?

              Using MBR:
              2 partitions, one with 100mb, other with 465.7 Gb, both MICROSOFT BASIC DATA.

              Using GPT
              Using GPT and creating fresh protective MBR
              Disk /dev/sda: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 gb
              Logical sector size 512 bytes

              Nothing listed.

                Run these commands:
                [code]fixparts /dev/sda
                w[/code]

                Follow thru with the rest of the code, cancel the debug code and regenerate your upload task. Reboot the client and it should upload properly.

                  Yes!! It worked!!
                  Thanks TOM and JAYMES! I owe you guys a BBQ whenever you guys come to Brazil!

                  Just to know, that was being caused by that GPT partition? And why? I don’t want to do the same mistake.
                  I dont remember anything related to GTP partition during the instalation or any step of the process.

                    i would guess that whatever method you used to re-partition didn’t wipe the boot sector, where the GPT/MBR information is stored

                      I used the partition manager from Windows Install Disk. Wiped everything. The disk was clear. Then created 1 partition to Windows (and he automatically created that 100mb partition). Thats all.

                        yeah, that doesn’t wipe everything.

                          Good to know. Thanks guys. I’ll put some information here, so I think you can lock this thread.

                          Situation: Dell Vostro 5470 was unable to send image to FOG server after full wipe and Windows 7 reinstalled.

                          Current config:

                          • Fog Version: 1.1.2
                          • Image Settings:
                            • Windows 7
                            • Multiple Partitions Image - Single Disk (Not resizable)
                          • Kernel: default from install

                          Common messages:
                          [CODE]Preparing backup location - DONE
                          Looking for hard disks - DONE
                          Using hard disk /dev/sda

                          udevd[1986]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda2, 10) failed: No such file or directory
                          udevd[1985]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda1, 10) failed: No such file or directory[/CODE]

                          Problem: Windows Partition from Windows 7 DVD doesn’t wipe the disk properly. There is a GPT partition causing problems.
                          Problem found using:
                          [CODE]gdisk -l /dev/sda[/CODE]

                          FIXING:

                          • Change kernel to [URL=‘http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/Kernel-3.14.2.TomElliott/’][B][FONT=sans-serif][COLOR=#006699]Kernel-3.14.2.TomElliott[/COLOR][/FONT][/B][/URL] ([url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/Kernel-3.14.2.TomElliott/[/url])
                            • Access server using PUTTY.

                          [CODE]su -
                          cd /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
                          wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freeghost/Kernels/Kernel-3.14.2.TomElliott/Kernel.TomElliott.3.14.2.64
                          mv Kernel.TomElliott.3.14.2.64 dell5470
                          [/CODE]

                          • Access FOG Server via WEB
                          • Edit HOST (alredy registered)
                          • Change HOST KERNEL to dell5470
                          • Still in hosts, go to BASIC TASK, Advanced, DEBUG
                          • Start the network boot on this host

                          In debug mode:
                          [CODE]fixparts /dev/sda
                          y
                          w
                          y
                          [/CODE]

                          • Insert new UPLOAD task on the host (make sure to remove the DEBUG task).
                          • Reboot, upload image

                          You can make a backup of the bzImage and make the new kernel default

                          [CODE]cp bzImage bzImageBKP
                          cp dell5470 bzImage[/CODE]

                            To be honest I don’t think you even needed to change your kernel

                              It didn’t worked with the default kernel.
                              I guess this will be specific with Dell Vostro 5470. (the kernel part)
