Mounting File System Failed

Actually the first instance of FOG I got going (Thanks @Wayne-Workman ) DID work with this machine, and I never saw an instance of this problem.

If you can get a date for that, it would help out. We can install that old version and see what happens.

@Rusty It would be interesting to know if this computer’s bios is up to date. From Wayne’s suggestion, it would be great to know what SVN worked so then we could go back to the devs and say what’s different between then and now, why did this stop working? I’m still leaning towards the hardware on this issue though.

@george1421 As am I. This is a crappy old Inspiron 9400 that should really go in the bin because it is so slow, but Ill have to keep it until I get approval for a some newer (used) machines.
-Just tested an Inspiron 6400 from the same era (looks pretty much the same but 15") Same deal.
-Just tested a newer Inspiron 1720 and it works fine.

The BIOS versions have probably never been updated…not sure if its worth it, but I could do it for education sake.

After capturing images from multiple machines, it looks like this issue is due to an incompatible BIOS in these old Dell machines.
I guess this issue can be marked solved…
Thanks for your help everyone
