Single Disk Multiple Partition works after a sector by sector but not before, partition problems.
-
searching on the forum, i saw that i wasn’t the 1st to have the problem and maybe it was cause the partition.
I have 1 hard drive with : 1 primary, 1 extended and 1 partition.
I just change that and put convert them all into primary partition. I m making a new image and we’ll see.
I think that i already upgrade the trunk byt doing the svn update. Is it the same thing ?[SIZE=2][B]Ubuntu[/B][/SIZE]

hi,
there is a 2967 now…
So i updated Fog and it seems to work BUT i don’t know if it because i put primary partitions or because of the new version.
I think that i kept my previous image version and i ll test it cause i believe it may help other people…Regards,

I use this parititon table (dual boot Win/Deb) without problem :
[CODE] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 206848 204802047 102297600 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 204802048 409602047 102400000 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 409604094 625141759 107768833 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 409604096 425988095 8192000 82 Linux swap / Solaris

So it means that that problem has been solved with the last fog version !

Probably! We worked on issues with extended partitions in the last week(s). I hope your setup with extended partitions is working now. Please report if it does not!

Well, it s “almost” working…
The image is downloaded correctly on the clients but when I start them, I have an error “Missing MBR-Helper”.
I m able to solve it by starting the computer with an usb key with Hiren boot cd => Mini windows 7 => InstallGrub4dos.cmdFor sure you need some further explanation…

I m using fog to deploy image to clients but each client has it s own local image locally made by Clonezilla. In that way, when a computer need to be reinstalled, i first run the local image.That command InstallGrub4dos.cmd changes the MBR (i believe) and is giving me a new boot menu. But i don’t know why it s not supported and why i get that error message.
It s not so big problem cause i can make those step (create the recovery partition) after deploying the clients but for sure i would prefer not…Any ideas ?
thx

Well that’s kind of special setup, isn’t it!? From what I read here (see the last post!) [url]http://reboot.pro/topic/19651-missing-mbr-helper-when-restoring-a-full-clone-with-grub4dos-mbr/[/url] and in the source code I am pretty sure that FOG is not made to handle something like this at the moment.
Maybe you want to try implementing this feature into FOG!? I am sure it is possible!

for a grub4dos bootloader, perhaps try using “linux” as your OS type. for windows we assume BCD

Thank you Uncle Frank, you was able to explain my problem in more clear way than i did…
Junkhacker, I ll try it tomorrow and i ll keep you posted -
Thanks to Junkhacker I had a second look at how FOG saves GRUB. And it actually does “the magic” to save more than just the first sector (MBR). You might be lucky and it’ll all work out for you setting OSID to Linux. Or it might leave you with other trouble. Let us know! You definitely need OSID=Linux to make FOG save the extended grub4dos bootloader.

i ll try it tomorrow but 1st i have to reinstall Fog because i ve a of problem with the last svn
