I did it !!!

To solve this error, the only thing that works is the “real” sysprep.
So I sysprep my machine before uploading and it’s ok when deploying.

For those who search how to activate windows, I create a .bat file i place in C:\ and which contains :

[CODE]@echo off
REM source http://www.sizzledcore.com/2009/10/26/how-to-change-windows-7-product-key/

REM insert Windows Key
slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

REM activate Windows
slmgr.vbs -ato

REM Delete file
del c:\Insert_Windows_License_Key.bat[/CODE]

This .bat has to be executed as Administrator, or simply exec it if already connected as local Administrator.
Well, that adds another step and it’s not very “automated”, but this way, i have the real license key, and anyway, i manually log in with local admin account …

Thanks for your help !

I’m going to test a new image : windows from scratch, with no 100MB partition.

EDIT : doesn’t work:(

What could be a solution would be to execute a script after the image is deployed, such as [FONT=Courier New]bootrec /rebuildbcd but i don’t think it’s possible.[/FONT]

Hello,
did you test a new image from scratch ? Just with LAN driver.

Yes, ok. But still, a windows only doesn’t work.
I dunno what to change, i set all params to default, one partition resizable as advised in the wiki.

What is sure, is if i take a Windows DVD, and chosse “repair”, it detects there is a boot problem and fixes it. But FOG shouldn’t result in this need, i have ~20 laptops and more than 100 desktops (homogeneous config)…

The thing is, what does sysprep do FOGprep doesn’t perform, because with sysprep i do not have this error.

OK, with a new install of Windows 7, from scratch, no drivers (except LAN driver ;)), no data/softs, no updates, the deployment results in the same error.
So the error is neither due to windows update/driver, nor a software, nor FOG client.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Well i ran a test with Sysprep still having an error, and another one with the licence Key that Sysprep doesn’t manage. It’s a.t.m. a SLP licence key, not VLK.

I did an “Acronis” image of the machine before FOG operations (so Windows, updates, softs only) that iapply for a new test.

I’m going to try another time from scratch, just windows.

Hi !

New FOG user since February 2012 (FOG 0.32, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), i’m discovering this tool that seems to make a great job !
I’m studying solution to mass deploy and FOG may be the one I choose …

Well, “may be” at this stage, because i am experiencing this error, i can’t solve after 4 days spent on it.

What I did

I prepared a blank machine with all my required softs.

• Windows 7
• clean
• updated
• some minor tasks such as activating the remote desktop …

Then, i install FOG client (successful) + FOG prep.
I found a doc that says FOG prep, since FOG 0.32 is not needed anymore. ([URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=What_do_I_have_to_do_to_an_image_before_uploading%3F’]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=What_do_I_have_to_do_to_an_image_before_uploading?[/URL])

Well i tried with & without (as says U2 ;)) FOG prep.

I still experience this issue : The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
0xc000000e

What i tested
First of all, i tested, just before uploading, the BCDedit lines given in the FOG website

Then I tried what Microsoft says

I tried what Symantec says :

I read a lot of topics …

…

No one solves my problem.

Can someone help me ? give me some others ideas ?

Thanks … !
