Invalid GPT table

[DarkEnergy]

When trying to upload and image from a fresh installed version of Windows 7 or 8 the upload get stock and the only way that continues is by pressing enter. When enter is pressed the screen scroll fairly fast with and error Invalid GPT table completing fast and rebooting without uploading the image to the FOG server.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

How can I solve this particular issue? Where do I need to make the changes?

I try to FTP tot he server using the FOG account and it failed.
I am thinking that the password for the storage changed after the last update; it is giving me grief since them.
How can I solve this particular issue? Where do I need to make the changes?
The two last images that were uploaded are unable to be download as the system does not recognized the new images due to the task never was finalized.

Thank you, Tom the fixparts command fix the GPT issue.
I will try to do a system with full GPT table and see if it upload.

Is there a specific option do you want me to run after running gdisk -l /dev/sda/?

What I was aming for is the output you see before the menu. I should say something like “Found MBR”

I ran the test and it was successful. I was able to copy a file from my system (Windows 10) to the FTP in the fog server, then I was able to delete it as well.
I am not sure what was the test for other than to make sure if the access to write and delete are in place and the service is working?
For this so far so good.

But did you use the credentials you found inside of Storage Management - > Default when you tried? Because in the screen shot below, it clearly says “login incorrect”. that’s a pretty clear error.

Also - I just added notes to the FTP Troubleshoot article about what credentials to use when doing the tests.

@Tom Elliott
The directory has the following permissions:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 16384 Dec 11 17:16

Will this be for the Lenovo or for the HP or for both?

[Tom Elliott]

@DarkEnergy what are the permissions for /images?

Can you, from debug, run fixparts /dev/sda then run fog

I am getting a menu that is all.

What about gdisk -l /dev/sda??

Here is another error after uploading an image for a Lenovo Touch B50-30.

As requested, here are some screenshuts after running the commands in debug mode:

Please let me know if you need more information.

[Tom Elliott]

@DarkEnergy just my guess, but did you try running fixparts on the upload before it uploaded? Seeing as the systems were originally set up for uefi and you turned it off, it sounds more like it simply had “bad gpt info” as UEFI requires a gpt layout. When you made the switch, from what I can gather, you set the host to use mbr style layout by just changing the info in Windows. The LLF in this case, I think, would be more using fixparts to correct the particular issue.

[Sebastian Roth]

@DarkEnergy Definitely valuable information you gave us but we still need a straw to cling to - the exact error message! I am sorry but I am not willing to further look into this issue unless I know the error you are seeing when things go wrong. No offence!

How did you LLF?

[DarkEnergy]

@Sebastian-Roth
Thank you for pointing the obvious but as you can read below, if the systems have been LLF and GPT disabled in the BIOS, then, there should be no GPT table in the HHD. The system came originally with Windows 8 and was downgraded to Windows 7. Last time I ran into this problem I had to download a new collection of PXE files for the TFTP Server in order for the system to be able to boot into FOG and upload the files.
I have tried everything I know including updating the trunk to the latest version.

As I mention on the initial post, the system were LLF, meaning nothing was on it at the time the image was been uploaded to the server. No trying to be rude just providing some information.

@Wayne-Workman:
The odd part is that only those two laptops are having the issue even after disabling UFI on the system. I ran into this problem before and a low-level formatting was the solution. However in this one, it is still a no go.
Both systems have been LLF and Windows has been reinstalled.

I will run the debug and see what information I can accomulate.
