Download Image issue
-
Hi all,
I uploaded original image of Dell Precision T3500 successfully. The original image is multi partitions on single disk.
But i have problem when reimage Dell Precison T3500. If hdd is not format, it will be unsuccessfully download image.
And if download image is successfully, it will be running partclone all partitions but after it finish 1 partiton, it need to Press [ENTER] to continnue. It’s a buggy or i miss configuration. -
now that you’ve updated fog, try uploading the image again.

FOG saves the complete partition table and restores it to the new hard drive on download task. Creating partitions and formating is not needed! But yes, I’ve also heard about people having issues with that at times. If you are keen you can try digging into customizing your init.xz and see if you can locate the problem. I guess it will be very hard for us to find a solution as we don’t have your setup here for testing purposes.

That’s exactly what i do because the disk need delete all partion before download image start without errors

Have you considered using Darik’s Boot And Nuke to zero the drive?

The Dell Precision T3500 is listed in FOG’s working hardware list…
I think your problem is partitioning related.
Could you read through this and give it a go? [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/quick-format-to-ntfs-with-fog-for-noobs.10349/[/url]
Also, if you find those instructions to be too confusing, you can optionally use a Windows XP disk JUST to delete all the partitions on the problem computer, and then remake 1 partition, and then format.
By default, when the WinXP disk finishes formatting, it begins copying files. That’s fine; when it starts copying files, just take the disk out and turn the computer off, then retry imaging with FOG.

Image is Windows 7. If you don’t press ENTER, it can’t reimage next partition and will be stuck on it
-
Imaging to a blank hard drive is a known issue. FOG expects some sort of partition to be present.
As far as pressing ENTER to continue for each partition, I’ve never heard of that problem.
If you press ENTER when it asks, does it eventually complete?
I was looking at this thread: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/cant-mout-image-folder-and-images-folder.12150/#post-40215[/url]
and the “Press ENTER to continue” problem there sounds a lot like the issue you are having.What OS are you trying to image? Windows 8 ? Windows 7 ? Vista? XP ?

Fog’s version is 1.2.0 and upgraded trunk to 3152.
Linux OS is CentOS 6.6
-
What version of Fog, what distribution of Linux & version?
