      Can you take your Dell e6400 and connect it to the network port of either the Optiplex3020 or HP dc7100, then see if the e6400 works on that port?

        Yep it works ok, it get to the bottom line - saving MBR then starts partclone whereas the others just reboot.

            Can you re-run your installer?

            This won’t delete any DB data or image data, it’ll re-use your previous installation choices.

            The installer will update your kernel and inits to the latest, I think.

            What version of FOG are you using, what distribution?

                  Before you do that, there are steps you should take…

                  In “FOG Configuration”, do the “Configuration Save”. This exports everything in your DB. And double and triple check you have your images backed up.

                  I’d also recommend just exporting the HOST list, alone. You should be able to do that from somewhere in the Hosts menu. (this allows you to import host data later, but not settings).

                  You can remove FOG, there’s a way to do it, it’s in the WiKi somewhere… but I find starting from scratch much easier and cleaner.

                  I’d recommend not dismantling your old FOG server, just turn it off for now; then get other hardware and install FOG 1.2.0 on that (I recommend using Hyper-V because you can snapshot). After installing, you can re-import your DB and images.

                    ah, too late I removed FOG as per…[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Uninstall_FOG[/url]

                    Reinstalled, dragged my images back in…same problem. I’ll build a new vm as you suggest. Thanks very much for your prompt replies

                      Cool.

                      Create a snapshot after your OS is installed and fully updated (no custom config at this point). Don’t wanna have to do all that over again.

                        ok, rebuilt fog on a brand new VM, I’m getting the same issue. I can’t think what else it could be…the DHCP options are the same as they’ve always been. Perhaps there’s something odd about these two particular PCs I’ve been testing with, I’ve been using them with fog for a while though. I’m going to dig out another couple of the same model…

                          You could try an older kernel… [SIZE=13px][COLOR=#555555]3.19.3[/COLOR][/SIZE] x86_x64 gave me luck recently with a middle-aged laptop.

                            I’ve sorted it. I was using a sata drive on various different models of PC around the office to confirm the image works with multiple models. I tried using a different drive and it worked fine, the drive I was using was only 80gb whereas the image came from a 250gb drive.

                            The windows installation on the image only takes up about 20gb, is this behaviour correct? Does the target drive need to be the same size or larger then the original?

                              If the image was set to “Resizable”, then it doesn’t matter.

                              I’m guessing it’s not re-sizable.
