[QUOTE]FOG doesnt care if you do or dont have the 100MB boot partition for Windows 7. Either way will work as intended :)[/QUOTE]
Even if using the “Single Partition (NTFS Only, Resizable)”?

Can you post all the output from fdisk -l?

[Ben]

Coming back to you after several tests.
My model has two partitions. 100MB system partition and the partition.
I run FOGPrep.exe commandesbcdedit and 3.
I prepare FOG putting Windows 7 on the PC and “single partition, resize” the image and this is the result:

please post fdisk -l output on that pc.

[Ben]

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

/dev/sda2 42 60801 488054700 7 HPFS/NTFS

[Jian Zhang]

it looks like the problem is the 1st partition it must be 100mb. your 1st partition is 329301 * 512 /1024/1024 = 160.7mb

FOG does not care 32bit or 64bit during the imaging. fogprep.exe will remove master HD id from registry so you don’t get black screen of death on the boot.

try this.
normal wipe you master image HD. Install win7 as normal just hit next. upload load image to FOG with image type:Single Partition (ntfs only, resizable) with host os:windows 7(5)

deploy to host.
normal wipe HD, deploy win7 to the new host.

let me know this works or not.

Yes

Everyone should be running [B]chkdsk /f[/B] on all of their drives before preping the image.

[Ben]

This is the result:
I prepared and run Windows FOGPrep.exe then three commands that are doing well.
I ran the sysprep and tried to back up the image.
The upload does not go away -> see image attached

Please follow this guide on trouble shooting an image upload.

The screenshot looks like it’s failing on the ‘ntfsresize’ command. This is where it will probably error or break.

Generally if the NTFS resize fails, there is some sort of file system issue that has to be fixed with chkdsk.

Any errors, or anything odd should be reported here.
