Ok, Update time!! Tried as suggested and same issue happens again, I tried the format through debug mode as suggested but i get an error " warning rereading partition table failed, kernal still using old table"

so I used some software to change partitions around. Did a full format double pass merged partitions as well so it can be a single one.

Tried to pass the image over and same thing again. The desktop communicates with the FOG server, says it is all registered then reboots, then says it is ready to image but then reboots instead of going to progress screen. I now have 3 partitions again!

I already have individual images for each system but it would be cool if I can figure out how to have a single one.

Thank you for the feedback!

I will try this out on Friday and let you know what happens!

Ok, lets see if I can explain this properly. I am using the following

Ubuntu 12.04
Fog 0.32
Kernal 3.13.4

I have several Images in the server already such as
Optiplex7010 w/ wifi
Optiplex790
HP4320S
Ltitude E6440

and so on…

Recently I sysprepped my 7010 which worked out great. The answer file has it so after the computer boots it goes right to the user log-in and then registers to KMS for licensing purposes after they log-in. However when I try to image an Optiplex790 It does not work. The Host gets registered then the computer boots says it will image but is now stuck on a bootloop. I looked closely as I tried imaging again and I get this error

“Can’t unmount NTFS: invalid argument”

Did it again and same thing on another Optiplex790. Turns out for some reason the hard drives not only became unmounted but also had multiple partitions all of a sudden ( even though I only use 1 partition) and it went from NTFS to RAW. Looked up the error but most answers pointed to bad image yet any Optiplex7010 will image without an issue. Any ideas?

[quote=“need2, post: 25853, member: 21891”]Are you sure the user data isn’t just in a deprecated user folder? Such as C:\Users\gobbledegook[/quote]

Late reply sorry, bu yes the files would have been under Mrs. Gobbledegook’s user files, however not all users save to just that location so I like to run full backups.

I did not Sysprep or FOGprep, since it was a backup to be restored only if user data was needed I did not think to do either. The Windows Repair worked but the user data was not available, it’s like all the bad sectors it repaired just so happen to have one of the application installs and MYDOOCS data. I am going to test with another machine and one that has Windows7 to see how it acts, thank you for the advice.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to deploy a computer I backed up. I did a backup of an HP4320S laptop with windows XP, I am deploying it to another HP4320S the backup itself is about 75gigs but once the deployment is complete I get the error message “NTLDR is missing” the backup type was “Multiple partition all disks not resizeable” and i am running on

Fog 0.32
Kernal 3.13.4

Any thoughts as to what could be causing the error?

Sorry I am not sure of the version, I know its newer than 3.8.8 but in Tom’s reply the version was not mentioned. I tried posting the link to the post but it is showing as spam. So do a search and type in this exact phrase

[SIZE=6][B]Dell Latitude E7240 - Cannot register[/B][/SIZE]

That person had the same issue I did with an E7240 and the updated kernel that was suggested to him helped me out too

Never mind, found a different Kernal on another post which also fixed my problem with the E6440

I have a Dell E6440 I am trying to register so I can make an image but after selecting “Full Host Registration” the process does not complete and just hangs. I have a picture attached, and here are some specs.

the latest Fog .32 is installed
Ubunt 12
Kernel verison 3.11
The laptop did have extra applications but even using a stock out of box one seems to have issues

Also unrelated maybe but my server admin was seeing how we can get the latest bzImage?
