      @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.

      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)

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

        #!/bin/bash
        [[ $osid != [5-7] ]] && return
        getHardDisk
        getPartitions $hd
        for part in $parts; do
            fsTypeSetting "$part"
            [[ $fstype != ntfs ]] && continue
            dots "Mounting Partition"
            if [[ ! -d /bcdstore ]]; then
                mkdir -p /bcdstore >/dev/null 2>&1
                case $? in
                0)
                    ;;
                *)
                    echo "Failed"
                    debugPause
                    echo " * Could not create mount location"
                    return
                    ;;
                esac
            fi
            ntfs-3g -o force,rw $part /bcdstore >/tmp/ntfs-mount-output 2>&1
            case $? in
                0)
                    echo "Done"
                    ;;
                *)
                    echo "Failed"
                    debugPause
                    echo " * Could not mount $part to /bcdstore"
                    continue
                    ;;
            esac
            if [[ ! -f /bcd/Boot/BCD.bak ]]; then
                umount /bcdstore >/dev/null 2>&1
                continue
            fi
            dots "Restoring original BCD"
            mv /bcdstore/Boot/BCD{.bak,} >/dev/null 2>&1
            case $? in
                0)
                    ;;
                *)
                    echo "Failed"
                    debugPause
                    umount /bcdstore >/dev/null 2>&1
                    echo " * Could not revert BCD File"
                    continue
                    ;;
            esac
            echo "Done"
            debugPause
            umount /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

          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

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

              then i added the script into

              /home/images/postdownloadscripts/revertbcd
              

              then

              chmod +x  /home/images/postdownloadscripts/revertbcd
              

              and

              add to the /home/images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload
              . ${postdownpath}revertbcd
              
              
              ls -al /home/images/postdownloadscripts/

                  @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.
