Latest FOG 0.33b

Sure, but was that drive used for previous Windows installations? It just seems like there was junk partition info left on the drive from the images that were being made on the server. Also, if you are doing an NTFS Resizable partition, it doesn’t matter what the original partition size is, only how much of it is used by data.
EDIT: Tom’s post gave me an idea. I assume this is a Windows 8 install that you upgraded to 8.1? 8.1 is not a service pack, its almost like an OS reinstall that you happen to get to keep your programs and files through. I would not be shocked if the 8.1 upgrade does some partition junk during its upgrade process to give it some fallbacks in case it fails during its install.

I didn’t update from 8 to 8.1. I installed 8.1 from the ISO. As for previous Windows installations, yes, there were, but I can’t see how those affected this. Granted, I didn’t do a low level format, but I did recreate the partitions every time I reinstalled WIndows.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26496, member: 7271”]So, as Windows 8.1 is fairly new and not thoroughly tested with resizable images, I’d recommend maybe switching the image type to Multi Partition Single or All disk. I don’t know how the win8.mbr file was created, but from the sounds of it, it only contains one partition in total, which is why you’re seeing the /dev/sda2 not found error. I didn’t make the win8.mbr, so I don’t know all the specifics.
It does, however, sound likely that you probably need to do another fresh install. I know it’s more work, but it’s the best I can give you for now.[/quote]
I have no problem reinstalling. I am (intermittently) trying to do this for the last 2 weeks now, so you can image I did quite some reinstalls. However, I would like to help the project if I can. I will come back with the results (probably tomorrow) from the “Multiple partition image - single disk”, as for the current problem, if you need any log, file, etc. I am more than happy to provide.

I appreciate the patience and am, almost always, approachable and will try to help. If I’m mean, I’m sorry, but it’s just who I am.
I don’t think I need anything else for right now though. The part that weirds me out is that the image folder contains an MPS image AND a SDR (Single Disk Resizable) image. That might be because of my tweaking of the FOGFTP so it may be a nonissue, so long as the image type is correct it shouldn’t matter.

There’s really no such thing as a Stupid question, however 0.32 and 0.33 are two COMPLETELY different beasts. I forget the exact location of the “Boot Settings” equivalent name in 0.32, but I’m pretty sure it was just FOG PXE Settings on 0.32.
In 0.32, FOG Configuration is actually called Other Information and is the ( ? ) icon on the menu. From there, go to FOG Settings and find your relevant area. That being said, If the quote you’re referring to is about the Compression Slider bar, it is nonexistent in 0.32. This was a feature I added into the core of 0.33 as I thought it was useful for people to be able to change how much, or how little they wanted to compress their images.

All,
If you haven’t noticed by now, we are starting to prepare for the latest and greatest. With this, I must (sadly…okay not really) say that 0.33b is no more.
We have transitioned to Version 1.0.0. This is updated in the installers and FOG Version information within the GUIs.
With this, I must please request this particular thread be locked from further updates. We’ve had a pretty good run of 78 pages, but I think it’s time to open a new thread for the “Latest” information.
