    @plegrand that’s my concern though. THe d1.mbr should be created for ALL uploads. Especially the Windows 7 stuff.

    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      That isn’t your concern though, that’s mine. Just noting it’s a problem and I don’t know why it’s even happening.

          I found out why the d1.mbr/d1.grub.mbr file wasn’t being created.

          Yes, it’s kind of an important bit. Please update and re-upload the windows 7 guy (as well as your windows xp if you feel up to it.)

          I know i’m asking a lot, but I really think we have all the kinks fixed now. (hopefully).

          Again, my only worry on the Win 7 is in the case of resizable we do place our own generalized BCD file. I think this can cause issues, but it can be fixed. I don’t remove the original bcd, rather I move it to a BCD.bak

            I will test on Monday. Do i have to capture again before ?
            I will test for the windows 7 machine and windows XP machine

            No problem for me. If i want it works … 😉

                  After reading through most of your posts again I noticed that I probably missed a very important detail. You have two different systems, one WinXP and one Win7 but both having three partitions! I somehow got confused by the different sector counts but same number of partitions…

                  @plegrand said:

                  …
                  Clearing part (/dev/sda2) …Reg file not found
                  …

                  Is this definitely a Windows 7 installation you are trying this on? Then it most probably won’t boot because of this!! On Win7 we need to be able modify the registry because it would hang on booting otherwise!

                  Can you please restore your Win7 image from ghost again. Then schedule a debug upload task and run the following commands (sda3 is your OS system partition, right?):

                  mkdir -p /ntfs
                  ntfs-3g -o force,ro /dev/sda3 /ntfs
                  find /ntfs -type f -iname "SYSTEM"
                  ...
                  umount /ntfs
                  reboot
                  

                  On a normal system you should see /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM printed from the find command. If you don’t get any output from that you can try find /ntfs -iname "SYSTEM*" to see if there is any backup file of the registry. Maybe ghost is doing some kind of magic??

                  Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                    @Sebastian-Roth I’m of the mind this is the BCD issue I was describing earlier.

                    I’m going to try making a post download script to revert the BCD.

                        After reading through most of your posts again I noticed that I probably missed a very important detail. You have two different systems, one WinXP and one Win7 but both having three partitions! I somehow got confused by the different sector counts but same number of partitions…

                        Yes as you said i made tests with 2 machines but each time i precise in my post wich machine i use
                        At this time i’m testing on a WIndows 7 machine
                        I made what you ask me to do and i come back

                                @plegrand My intuition was right… This is one thing I hate about windows. It does not care much about case-sensitivity in filenames and paths! Someone or some tool made a backup of the original reg-file called ‘SYSTEM’ but named the new file ‘system’. Windows seams to not care and still boots. But FOG/linux cares about it. We have the path for this defined as ‘/ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM’ and therefore our scripts won’t find ‘…/config/system’!

                                I am not sure what to do about it. I don’t think we should change our scripts as this has never happened before and I guess this is very rarely the case. But it’s kind of easy for you to fix. After restoring the Win7 image via ghost please boot in debug upload again and run:

                                mkdir -p /ntfs
                                ntfs-3g -o force,rw /dev/sda3 /ntfs
                                mv /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/system /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM.moved
                                mv /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM.moved /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM
                                umount /ntfs
                                

                                I guess you can rename the file directly from ‘system’ to ‘SYSTEM’ but I have seen cases (probably on VFAT filesystems) where this fails - therefore I suggest two renames. After that you can start the upload via command fog…

                                  then after restoring ghost image i launch debug capture task and then

                                  mkdir -p /ntfs
                                  ntfs-3g -o force,rw /dev/sda3 /ntfs
                                  find /ntfs -type f -iname "SYSTEM"
                                  /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/RegBack/SYSTEM
                                  /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/system
                                  
                                  
                                  mv /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/system /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM.moved
                                  mv /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM.moved /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM
                                  
                                  find /ntfs -type f -iname "SYSTEM"
                                  /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/RegBack/SYSTEM
                                  /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM
                                  
                                  umount /ntfs/
                                  
                                  

                                  fog to launch capture task
                                  reboot
                                  After capture windows 7 works fine. 🙂

                                  Deploy task
                                  Same problem : stuck on “booting …”

                                  I keep the Tom’s script (revertbcd) may be i should remove it ?

                                      Definitely was useful to get access to the machine. That particular partition layout turned out to be not very easy to handle and FOG stumbled! Those DELL partitions are quite an issue. But I think Tom and I have fixed it all. @plegrand Please upgrade to the very latest version. Then re-upload and try deploy again! Please test both of your machines to see if this is really the same issue.
