      @plegrand Are source and destination machine the same model? Please let us know what kind of hardware you are doing this on. Check the BIOS settings as well. Searching for that error on the internet I found several people who have issues after cloning a machine. See if you can match up the BIOS settings of source and destination on disk geometry. See here:

      The most likely solution is that your HD geometry is set wrong… On many motherboards in the BIOS setting for your HD, it is set to AUTO… which sometimes tries to use CHS which is incorrect for most modern computers. Manually set it to LBA instead.

      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’s the same machine, i mean this machine act as source and destination
        Tomorrow i’ll make a test from the beginning and i will post the result here

          @Tom-Elliott Do you know if the dell recovery partition could be causing the “Error loading operating system” problem? Looking at the sector numbers I don’t see why this could go wrong. sda1 is identical and sda2 starts at the exact same sector as before. Maybe the MBR is not copied properly?

          @plegrand Looking at the file listing you posted some days ago I don’t see d1.mbr file. Can you please verify that there is no d1.mbr in your image directory on the FOG server!? There definitely should be one I reckon! As well, do you really need the recovery partition?

            It’s possible the mbr was taken in the corrupted state. Maybe an upload then down would be good to go now that we’re not moving partitions around?

            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.

              I don’t really understand what happens with the MBR. Can we do math on the fly in the inits to go from the sector before the first partitions start sector, and copy from sector 0 to that, in order to get the entire MBR every time? Also, make a RAW copy of the MBR or whatever it takes to get it?

                  Here is the test i made with the same machine (same machine used for source and destination:

                  Optiplex 760 – Windows XP
                  3 partitions

                  I upgraded fog to 4929 / 6547 version

                  Image configuration used :
                  default: Windows 2000/XP
                  Single Disk - Resizable
                  Everything

                  I use an old symantec ghost image to restore the machine, at this moment this machine works fine.

                  I launch debug capture task to see the configuration of partition on client before any operation

                  Partitions just before capture task on client

                  sfdisk -d /dev/sda

                  After capture task, the machine works fine
                  After deploy task, the machine works fine

                  I have to test now an other Dell machine Optiplex 9020 with windows seven and also 3 partitions
                  I’ll come back to tell you if it works fine

                    @Tom-Elliott Hello

                    Then i made an other test with an other machine (DELL optiplex 9020 - windows 7 - 3 partitions)
                    And it doesnt works
                    here is the result, sorry it’s little long

                      @plegrand Where’s the d1.mbr file? I know it is created (or at least it should be).

                          @Tom-Elliott On the fog server in the image directory of the machine there is no “d1.mbr”

                          And for my other test before (xp machine) there is no d1.mbr but deploy and capture works fine.
                          D1.mbr is may be only usefull for windows 7 ?

                            @plegrand that’s my concern though. THe d1.mbr should be created for ALL uploads. Especially the Windows 7 stuff.

                              That isn’t your concern though, that’s mine. Just noting it’s a problem and I don’t know why it’s even happening.

                                  I found out why the d1.mbr/d1.grub.mbr file wasn’t being created.

                                  Yes, it’s kind of an important bit. Please update and re-upload the windows 7 guy (as well as your windows xp if you feel up to it.)

                                  I know i’m asking a lot, but I really think we have all the kinks fixed now. (hopefully).

                                  Again, my only worry on the Win 7 is in the case of resizable we do place our own generalized BCD file. I think this can cause issues, but it can be fixed. I don’t remove the original bcd, rather I move it to a BCD.bak

                                  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!

                                    I will test on Monday. Do i have to capture again before ?
                                    I will test for the windows 7 machine and windows XP machine

                                    No problem for me. If i want it works … 😉

                                          After reading through most of your posts again I noticed that I probably missed a very important detail. You have two different systems, one WinXP and one Win7 but both having three partitions! I somehow got confused by the different sector counts but same number of partitions…

                                          @plegrand said:

                                          …
                                          Clearing part (/dev/sda2) …Reg file not found
                                          …

                                          Is this definitely a Windows 7 installation you are trying this on? Then it most probably won’t boot because of this!! On Win7 we need to be able modify the registry because it would hang on booting otherwise!

                                          Can you please restore your Win7 image from ghost again. Then schedule a debug upload task and run the following commands (sda3 is your OS system partition, right?):

                                          mkdir -p /ntfs
                                          ntfs-3g -o force,ro /dev/sda3 /ntfs
                                          find /ntfs -type f -iname "SYSTEM"
                                          ...
                                          umount /ntfs
                                          reboot
                                          

                                          On a normal system you should see /ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM printed from the find command. If you don’t get any output from that you can try find /ntfs -iname "SYSTEM*" to see if there is any backup file of the registry. Maybe ghost is doing some kind of magic??

                                          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)

                                            @Sebastian-Roth I’m of the mind this is the BCD issue I was describing earlier.

                                            I’m going to try making a post download script to revert the BCD.

                                            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.
