@Corrco Sorry this topic has been kind of lost probably when we had some issues with the forums not long ago.

The only thing I can imagine is the partition cannot be detected and captured as NTFS. In this case FOG uses RAW mode which will result in a much larger image file. This could happen if the drive is encrypted with Bitlocker or some other forms of disk encryption. Though we added a check for Bitlocker a fair while ago and it should print a message and bail out.

Please post your FOG version and let us know if you need further help.

Solved. OMG it’s so good to have another set of eyes on. Talk about not seeing the tree for the forest! I am watching first clone progress. This is far further than I was ever able to get with Symantec ghost - never could build their PXE client. Thank you so much Sebastian.
