@Sebastian-Roth That fixparts! I did as you said. I went into the shell and typed in fixparts dev/sda and it said some partitions were leftover (guess windows does a poor job of deleting partitions). It asked if I wanted to delete some problematic partitions and I typed yes. It is now imaging! No more magic!

@george1421 You know I usually do a full wipe on all of my images. This was the only image I did not enforce a full wipe of the drive. I can see why it should be standard practice even though my other images are done as full wipes and installing os on raw partition.

As for the initial chainload issue, it was probably trying to load images from a non-existent storage node. After removing the location plugin and the decommissioned storage node, the chainload issue disappeared. I was informed a storage node died (mobo crapped out).
