Fatclone.C: Filesystem isn't in a valid state
-
@Quazz
After that, I receive an I/O error:4 from fatclone.cmessage: Fatclone.c: I/O error:4
-
@abos_systemax Imo, this indicates that the drive itself has issues, bad sectors most likely.
-
I’m thinking the same thing Quazz is. Often it is very helpful to try with a different machine, a different drive, a fresh build of an image, even starting out with a zeroed-out hdd would help. FOG has a normal-wipe feature built-in that would do the job of blanking a disk.
-
@Quazz There are options to capture only certain partitions; is there a method to SKIP certain partitions?
I am able to capture SDA2,SDA3 and SDA4 with no problem -
@abos_systemax You could capture each of those partitions to their own image, then via terminal you could put them all together into a new image’s directory manually. The required support files for it can be copied from another similar image and then modified. Final step being to create an image definition for it in the web interface and trying it out.
-
@Wayne-Workman can I just use the MBR that is created on the image?
-
Meh, too bad… if I only restore partitions 2,3, and 4, I receive a Windows needs to be repared error because the Win10 EFI Boot manager still thinks it boots Windows 10…
The FOG screen displays a message about formatting and settingup the new MBR/GPT… but it doesnt seem to do that; is that correct?

That’s what I would try first. It’s just a file in the image’s directory, easy enough to replace.
-
@Wayne-Workman I tried, but Windows is unable to launch.
I am wiping the disk now to ensure that the EFI partition is removed before the image is appliedBut alas, it is still unable to find the OS disk
-
@abos_systemax 7 days into this, I would recommend cutting the losses and rebuilding the image. Don’t go 100% on the new image, just install base-windows only and try capturing. Adjust the firmware settings as needed until you get the image to capture. Once you can successfully capture, then complete your image and capture again.
-
@Wayne-Workman Problem is: our customers build their images and we have to work with it… Ill still try to figure things out; but this thread can be closed. Apparently it’s not a FOG issue, it’s a hardware (or software) related issue; which doesn’t fall into Fog’s domain…
Thanks for the support anyway; you did point me in the right direction: at least now I know what the problem is.
-
@abos_systemax Well as a last resort, use the RAW image type. But beware it takes a complete and uncompressed image. So if you capture a 2TB disk, you get a image that is 2TB in size.
But I do think there is an issue with the image and I do believe that zero-ing the disk prior to a re-install would most likely work.

I kind-a-fixed it by booting to Windows PE, clean the disk with diskpart, create a 100MB parititon and a ‘the rest’ partition; then restoring only partition 2 with FOG, then rebooting to Windows PE to create a bootstore… now Windows can Boot.
I now face another issue, but I’ve posted that in the Windows Issues forums (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9177/windows-partition-size)

— fixed that issue as well…
