So I’m noticing a couple things.
- The first boot error relates to efi - perhaps you have an efi partition separate from the install and would need to do multiple partition image
- At the same time there are .mbr files and also gpt messages. GPT is typically associated with efi style images and mbr with bios/legacy style images.
So are you using uefi on the image you are uploading from?
Are you uploading from legacy and then downloading to a computer set to uefi mode?
Personally I find mbr and bios/legacy mode to work just fine and to be just much simpler. So if it’s not too much effort you could redo the image making sure that your computer is booting to legacy/bios mode. In some bios’s you have to disable secure boot before it lets you enable the legacy boot mode. GPT and uefi do work with fog, don’t get me wrong, but I just find gpt easier. Also, a side note, to ensure you make only one partition when you install windows (this works on at least windows 7 and up) when you have the install disc in and you’re at the partition selection, hit shift+f10 to bring up a command prompt. Then run the following commands to clear out all existing partitions and make only one new one. As far as I have found this only works with mbr style partitions. There is probably a way to do it for gpt, I just haven’t found it yet, which is another reason I stick with mbr.
diskpart
list disk
(It will list the disks with details, most likely you'll want disk 0, but list and check to be sure)
select disk 0
clean
create partition primary
exit
exit
Then hit refresh on the windows gui partition editor and select the newly created partition
If you put a lot of work into this image and don’t want to start over on it, no worries, we can still try some other stuff.
Go into fog and queue a download of the image ticking the “schedule as a debug task” box.
Now you will be able to step through the image process and run some other commands on the computer you are imaging
I would try running fixparts on /dev/sda in a debug session. This may fix any mbr/gpt confusion within the drive or image your using and that alone could make it work.
If that doesn’t do the trick. Then we’ll come back to the drawing board.
So, that was a lot of information, let me summarize a little.
- Is your image source a gpt/efi setup or a mbr/bios setup?
- Do you want it to be resizable or do you not care because they’re all the same size hard drive?
- Have you tried running fixparts (I would recommend trying this before uploading the source image as well as before download)
- Consider making a new mbr style image in bios/legacy mode using the instructions I gave above, as I know it works for windows 10
