      @Tom-Elliott Hello

      Test Windows 7

      • Update fog to 4959 / 6609
      • Restore machine with ghost image
      • The machine works fine and show 3 partitions
      • Delete old image with files on fog web interface
      • Create new image
      default: Windows 7
      Single Disk - Resizable
      Everything
      
      • Basic task
      • Capture

      Messages before partclone
      Clearing part (/dev/sda2) …Reg file not found
      Clearing part (/dev/sda3) …Reg file not found

      Files in image directory

      d1.fixed_size_partitions
      d1.mbr
      d1.minimum.partitions
      d1.original.fstypes
      d1.original.swapuuids
      d1p1.img
      d1p2.img
      d1p3.img
      d1.partitions
      

      d1.mbr is present

      After capture, windows start without problem !!! 🙂

      • Basic task
      • Deploy

      After deploy task, the machine stay on “Booting…” 😞

      I dont know it it’s usefull :

        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.

          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.

            Can you try using this script in your /images/postdownloadscripts/revertbcd

                if [[ ! -d /bcdstore ]]; then
                    mkdir -p /bcdstore >/dev/null 2>&1

            done
            

            Change the file to allow the script to run as a script
            chmod +x /images/postdownloadscripts/revertbcd

            And add to the /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.download

            . ${postdownpath}revertbcd

              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

                you mean /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.download => /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload ??
                I’m actually deploying image ghost on this machine

                      @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…

                        @Sebastian-Roth Hello
                        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.

                            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)
