          I think I know what the issue is. Try shrinking the partition/volume on the computer that is used for creating the image before uploading. That way the partition that is restored is will be a few GBs less than what the computer you are trying to image to. I noticed when I was trying to image to identical computers the claimed to have the same hard drive space as the computer that the image was made on I had the same issue you had in the video. The computer doesn’t actually image FOG seems to just bail out and then the computer reboots.

          Edit: An easier way to test this would be to throw in a hard drive that you for sure know is larger (not the same) than the hard that the image came from and then try imaging. Or even just use a different computer with a larger hard drive to test if the imaging process starts (even if the image isn’t built for that computer you can still do it just to test).

            What OS is your fog server running on? You can also try the script in this thread https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4581/let-s-make-scripts

              @sandy.rolandson Is the image type “resizeable” ?

                Have you made sure this image has an appropriate operating system assigned to it?

                Forget the above.

                Is the harddrive the original image came from larger than the hard drive the image is trying to go on to?

                  Sounds like it could be a missing AHCI or SATA raid driver in the image. Try switching the drive to “IDE” mode in the bios.

                      Yes Tom the HD from the source is larger then the target device. I’m uploading a “re sizable” image now and will try that! Thank you!!
                      Stay tuned!! 🙂
