Can't have partition outside the disk

[quote=“Tangerine, post: 1628, member: 376”]Yet more testing…
FOG 0.32 on Ubuntu 8.04
Machine I am testing for the image is
HP D530 USD
P4, 2gb, 40gbStarted with a base Win 7 install with 2 partitions, 100mb + 20gb image upload and deployed to original disk and another 40, 120 and 160gb drives with out issues.
Next I followed the [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Client_Setup#Dual_boot_Images’]guide[/URL] for linux
So now the setup was Win 7 100mb + 20gb + 1gb swap + 6gb Ubuntu
This would image up and down fine with the 3 test drives
Next I re-imaged with the base Win 7 Install added a 9gb data partition + 1gb swap + 6gb Ubuntu
The image uploads fine, but I end up with the cant have partition outside disk error on deployment to any of the test drives.
Next test was to revert to base Win 7 image, then create a 1gb swap + 6gb in linux as logical partitions and leave the rest for the windows data partition to be created post install.
Again the image uploads fine, but deployment ends with the same error.
So that leads me to conclude that the issue lies with logical partitions.[/quote]
If you have something to test on try [URL=‘http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/Kernel-3.2.4.core/Kernel-3.2.4.core/download’]kernel 3.2.4[/URL] i’m going to try it on my problem child and see if it fixes this or not

I tried that new Kernel and no dice i got the same error along with a new error that said something like unable to open read only file system

After doing some more testing i found that i get this error on Seagate Barracuda ST3250312AS drives which have the 4k advance format (Note: there is something also called Western Digital Advanced Format and Dell Advanced Format) From my testing it seems Windows Vista or Windows 7, disk alignment is correctly forced by the OS and for windows xp you will need to create an image on for this drive type Align the disk with an alignment tool (For example the Paragon Alignment Tool, a third party product, has been used by many) then Sysprep the image. The release of 0.33 fog should resolve this when ever released.
