PXE Fails to Start Capture

[Joe Gill]

I have a host that fails to start at PXE boot.

I gets to here…

This is a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop with Windows 10 on it. I have imaged these guys before with Clonezilla so it should clone just fine. Any advice on this error would be super helpful!

Thanks!

Cheers,

Do the capture task as a debug task, and we can try to mount /dev/sda1 manually and we’ll see what happens.

at the shell, verify that there is a /bcdstore directory first. If it’s not there, make it with mkdir /bcdstore

Then attempt to mount the partition like this:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /bcdstore

or if that fails, alternatively:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /bcdstore

Give us screenshots of what happens.

If it mounts, see if you can view it’s contents with:
ls -laht /bcdstore

@Wayne-Workman

Looks like it mounted.

@Joe-Gill Well, I wasn’t expecting that. So why is the fog upload script not mounting then? @Tom-Elliott @Sebastian-Roth

@Joe-Gill Do you still get the error on capture? Might have solved itself by chkdsk, disabling fast boot in windows or something else…

If you still see the error please try the following commands and post a picture again:

mkdir -p /bcdstore
ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile,rw /dev/sda1 /bcdstore
ls -al /bcdstore
umount /bcdstore

@Sebastian-Roth
I’m off until Monday. Unfortunately, I had to deploy that laptop without imaging. I’ll have more to do though. I may be able to grab it later and continue testing. Thanks for the help!!
