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

        @Tom-Elliott Hello
        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/
        total 16
        drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 mars   7 13:59 .
        drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 mars   7 10:24 ..
        -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  260 mars   7 13:59 fog.postdownload
        -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1279 mars   7 13:52 revertbcd
        
        
        cat /home/images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload 
        #!/bin/sh
        ## This file serves as a starting point to call your custom postimaging scripts.
        ## <SCRIPTNAME> should be changed to the script you're planning to use.
        ## Syntax of post download scripts are
        #. ${postdownpath}<SCRIPTNAME>
        . ${postdownpath}revertbcd

            @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…

            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 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)
