Finished my whole image on laptop and was very happy, THEN!!

Just about have my new image rebuilt. I should be retrying the upload today sometime. I will keep you updated.

If at all possible, create a raw backup first, then try the upload. This way, if everything get’s borked, you could recover it as is and not have to redo all the work again and again. Or created it in a VM and take snapshots.

[EAHarvey]

Roger that sir. I’ll keep you updated.

Was able to push up a RAW image Friday. About to try the re sizable setup.

[EAHarvey]

Raw and Re-sizable both uploaded with no error. Actually did 2 versions of the re-sizable image. Will be shooting it down to another machine today.

[EAHarvey]

Ok running svn 4571 and all seems good. I have Uploaded to re-sizable images and pushed them down to different hardware. Since everything that we need seems to be working now, I am going to leave the version As-Is. Once i get a little caught up I will be exploring more of what the FOG machine can do. Thanks for all the help and support. You can mark it solved.

@EAHarvey To be absolutely clear - building an image from scratch fixed it? What was different about the old image and this one? What did you do differently? Did you try to build the image on a different machine? A different HDD? Do you have any suspicions at all?

[EAHarvey]

Not really sure. I’m thinking it also could have been the way the Dell M6800 default settings are. Seems that it has to be set to RAID in the bios on the SATA operation. Not sure why that would make a difference. Same machine, same 500 gig HD. The only thing is that i updated to a different SVN. The second laptop was a M6500. Different hardware but took the image fine. So i say that to say, I’m not really sure. lol. When i have some extra time i’ll look through some logs and see if i can possibly see anything. So i don’t think this thread of mine helped anybody.

@EAHarvey Sure this thread will help someone - if we could ever get the forum’s search feature to actually work.
