So I’v been experimenting with Fog to deploy Windows 8. Using v0.32 with 3.8.8 kernel. Test hardware is Dell Optiplex 3000 (3.8.8 & 3.3.3 kernels both seem to work okay with this model).

Using a single partition image:

I am able to use Fog to take an image off the machine and restore to it. However after restoring the image it cannot boot from the disk. I’v also tried using the WindowsRE to fix MBR and boot sector, then trying to rebuild the BCD still fails saying the installation isn’t bootable.

Using TestDisk, it shows that the boot sector is invalid/corrupt but it is not able to repair the problem.

Using a multi partition image does work. But I was hoping to be able to use a resizable image…
