In vmWare, did you set the HDD type to IDE instead of SCSI/SATA? I’m not that familiar with vmWare, so I could be completely off track.
-
yes set it to IDE, should i redo the image and try with multi partition??
-
i just uploaded the image to another PC and after it was done, i took it out of the PC and started to explorer the HDD. nothing is on there! it says the hard drive is RAW WTF!!! FML!!! im dying over here!

Can you go to fog and check out the /images/ directory for this image? Does it have the d1.mbr file? Does that file have size > 0? Do you have .img files for this image?
Well, it’s time to establish some baselines. Can you create a new VM, install Windows 7, reboot and take the image, and deploy that to a real machine, doing nothing special and only allowing the 2 windows partitions to be created ( 100mb boot and main OS partition)? Use single partition-re-sizable for the image type when uploading. If that doesn’t work, try multiple-partition, single disk. If that works, we can move through the steps you are following and see where it dies.

also, is the real machine to which you are deploying in IDE or AHCI mode in the BIOS?

i just realized this error. what does it mean?

i have tried both native ide and achi mode there is another mode legacy ide i think, im trying to image some HP pro 6005’s
-
was this error from the VM you are uploading, or the real machine you are trying to image?
