Win 7 0xc0000225 boot failure Acer travelmate P245-M

Yes, in fact my System Admin is doing the upgrade as we speak. Is there much of a difference between the two versions of FOG in regards to imaging 64 bit OS’s?
-
I wouldn’t think so,
But I know that when your sys-admin runs the 1.2.0 installer, it’ll pull down the latest kernels and inits, and that will likely help out a lot.

Ok, back to the boards. Since I last posted, we have upgraded our fog server to the most current version with the same results. I have tried to create a Windows 7 x86 image at the request of my system admin to see if there is/was a difference and the answer is still no. Same 0xc0000225 error or missing operating system error. I have checked the bios again and it is set to legacy mode and not UEFI. There are no bios updates for my computer. I have modified the image type to resizable, etc and cannot seem to make a difference or any progress. Any other thoughts or avenues I could explore?
-
If the error occurs after you image the machine I really suspect you are having an issue with the hard drive partition table. When I ran into a similar issue we ran the windows repair on the newly imaged pc and then uploaded the fixed image which seemed to solve future issues from then on.

Well, I have figured something out today. The laptops which we are using contain one of two 500gb hard disks. One is WD and one is a seagate. Both of which have Advanced Drive Formatting. After doing some research, I am finding out that many cloning tools have issues with the advanced drive formatting. I have just begun the process of dealing with this, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this and create and image that can be deployed?
-
That’s a question for the Developers.
Only thing I can tell you is to figure out a way to turn it off or undo it.

To add a bit more to this equation… If I go the RAW image route with fog, the image clones just fine. Any other option results in failure. The trade off to it working is 3.75hrs of download time with the RAW option. I am dealing with two 500gb hard drives, WD and Seagate, both with advanced formatting and 4k drive sectors. The imagine fails going from identical WD to WD, identical Seagate to Seagate, or WD to Seagate/Seagate to WD. The 4k sector info might seem obvious at this point, but those drives are very new tech compared to the 512 drive sector size we are normally using. I have been able to clone the drives just fine using Reflect, but that is not a viable option for deploying the image as quickly as fog can.
-
@NCMikeD Have you tried to build an image from scratch, yet? See if that works?
You could very quickly install Win7 all by itself with no updates, no apps, no nothing, and just quickly upload and download as resizeable and see if it works or not… if it does, make a full blown image and go that route.
-
fog works fine with 4k drives. what is the partition structure like on the drives you’re trying to image?
-
@Wayne-Workman Yes, I have built an image from scratch several times. The current image I am dealing with is from scratch; Windows 7 64 bit. I have tried 32 and 64 bit thinking there might be a difference, but no luck.

@NCMikeD said:

do you mean the latest official version (1.2.0) or the latest svn version, and if the svn version, what exact revision are you at?
-
@Junkhacker We are running latest stable, 1.2.0
-
you may have better luck if you upgrade to trunk

Hi, I’m having the same issue but with Windows 8.1 (UEFI)
Windows 7 images (without UEFI) upload and download fine, but with UEFI after imaging with any error my Windows 8.1 show this:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
A required device isn’t connected or can´t be accessed.
Error Code: 0xc0000225I have the SVN 3603
Thanks! -
Can you update SVN?
Is SecureBoot turned off?
-
@Tom-Elliott I can’t turn off Secure Boot. I can see the option in ASUS BIOS, but it is Gray.
I called ASUS support and they tell me if it is gray and I have no visible button to change it, that means in this model I can’t do that. -
@Bruno-Nogueira Secure Boot is a UEFI thing. See if you can turn off UEFI, then this option shouldn’t be greyed out anymore.
-
@Wayne-Workman I don’t would like to turn off UEFI, there has to be another solution
-
@Bruno-Nogueira Did you even check to see if turning it off allows you to turn off Secure Boot?
