Error uploading and download fog 1.0.0
-
We have remove the usual 100Mb partition to be able to upload it as single partition.
And the sector boo not made at the 63th sector by windows was already a problem to solve.
I’ll try use the fixmbr in windows since i work under a VM with snapshot, i can revert it at anytime if it doesn’t work.
I’ll also see with the old co-worker that made the original version to see if we find out something.Could this GPT problem could also bring a problem for download ?
As said in the few first message, I have saved an edit of this image and after deploy using partimage, Windows doesn’t boot.Thank you for your help and advises, i’ll look further on my side.

The problem with the boot, seems to me, not anything you’re doing wrong but how FOG interprets Windows 7 style imaging especially on the creation of partition tables.
FOG makes a few assumptions based on the OSID even under 0.32 and higher.
Single Disk resizable with Windows 7 doesn’t use any backed up MBR. So if you create a “fresh” image of Windows 7 but remove the 100MB partition, but doesn’t know that this is the case. FOG is making the assumption that the Base install of Windows 7 is what was performed. So, with all of that said, it generates the 100MB partition and the second partition no matter how you ACTUALLY created the image. I hope that makes sense and may shed light as to why you’re unable to boot. If you want to remove the 100MB partition, that’s fine, but DO NOT use Single Disk Resizable for the image type under this method as it will NOT work.

From my memories, we don’t “remove” the 100MB after the install but we create the partition before installing Windows to avoid Windows handle it itself and create that 100MB.

I have check with the creator of the image i used to build my VM.
He never created this strange partitions.
I’ll make a “fresh” install and keep the 100MB partition then try again to back it up as single partition. -
Sorry, I forgot to reply.
Upload works fine with the normal windows installation.
Now, i’ll look for the problem of downloading old image.
