      I am trying to image a desktop (only has one hard drive) and I am getting to the point where it says:
      Looking for Hard Disks…Done
      Using Hard Disk /dev/sda

      It just hangs there… am I missing something?

        Using FOG 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 12.10
        Client is Windows 7 64-bit (fresh install) on a DH61AGL motherboard. I am able to upload images on hundreds of other clients on this network fine.

          I wish I had remote access, but this seems to be an ever cropping issue lately.

          My guess is it’s related to how the drive is partitioned. It’s probably partitioned in mbr format, but has GPT structures on it.

          Because of this, the partition tables aren’t laid out or read properly, and can’t find the first partition to begin with. Is this upload or download?

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            It also gives “i8042: No controller found” after loading the kernel.

              This is an upload.

                The i8042: No controller found error is probably nothing. The fact that it finds the drive and doesn’t do anything after that is the factor I’m worried about. The i8042 is just the kernel reporting it’s loaded the driver, but can’t find a controller for the driver itself. it’s nothing to be overly concerned about.

                Can you cancel out the task, and recreate the task as an upload-debug?

                From the host choose Basic tasks -> Advanced tasks -> Upload - Debug and schedule it.

                It will get you to a terminal prompt.

                Run the command:
                [code]gdisk -l /dev/sda[/code]

                Please report back with the output of that command. Don’t do anything with the system after that.

                      okay
                      cancel out of that .

                      run
                      [code]fixparts[/code]

                      With the prompt there type the letter w

                      Hopefully all works great
                      and when back at terminal prompt, run:
                      [code]fog[/code]

                          Thanks for the solution - for others reading, there was an extra step after running ‘fixparts’, I entered the name of the device, in my case ‘/dev/sda’ before following prompts to delete and then write changes with ‘w’.

                          Thanks again

                              @Developers @Moderators I want a screenshot of this - or the exact text produced when a upload fails due to GPT structures left on an MBR type disk.

                              If anyone can provide that, I’ll add them to this article: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_Uploading
