<![CDATA[Recapture a cloned disk]]>Hello, i’m making a dual boot image (Win11/Ubuntu24)

I :

  1. deployed our Win11 golden image on the computer (without booting to keep post install scripts)
  2. installed Ubuntu alongside with a USB stick
  3. shutdown
  4. Capture

The issue is that it tells me that the ntfs partition is dirty and that i need to boot windows.

Is it possible to recapture a deployed image without booting once ? I’d like to have the postdeploy scripts to run on the final computer, not the one used to make the dual boot

We need to redo our golden image, so we will check at that time if we still get the same behavior.

Thx for the help !

How it got there I don’t know. I would suggest attempting to boot windows, perform the chkdsk/scandisk as needed. Then shutdown (may need to re-sysprep) after running this command. Windows 11, to my knowledge, can be a little bit strange sometimes.

Most of the time, the reason people see this is “shutdown” goes into a special mode called “Fastboot” which works similarly by flipping the dirty bit on the drive.

The command I posted here should prevent “fast log” so when you shutdown, the machine ACTUALLY powers off without any dirty bit.
