Thanks again!

@Junkhacker
Fully deploy and then upload right away - as resizable. Multi-partition? I guess there’s the Dell part, the windows part and then the last - I’m not sure how Dell sells them.

@Junkhacker
OK everyone - it looks like you are correct. The last order he placed for 14 machines were a different model with a 500GB HDD. My guess is he made his golden from these and that’s what’s in the FOG server. The ones in the old bug-infested tech room, while he may have used them as test devices at some point, are not the ones he put the images on.

One last question: My new machines I will be getting will have 500G or larger so the image should work. What happens to the left over space? I guess I’m not sure exactly what re-sizable means and how partclone works. Any resource suggestions greatly appreciated.

ALSO - MANY MANY THANKS to Junkhacker, Wayne Workman, Sebastion Roth and all others who stayed with me to get this done. This is an awesome program and you are awesome guys! My gratitude always.

@Junkhacker does one of these files tell me how big the source drive was?

@Junkhacker
d1.mbr
d1p1.img
d1p2.img
d1p3.img

@Junkhacker
yep…says target partition is too small. I don’t understand that at all.

@Junkhacker Debug is on the /dev/sda2 now. I guess I find out at the next ENTER.

@Junkhacker Doesn’t make sense to me - he didn’t have any different computers. What is confusing is that the image on the server is alot smaller than 250G.

@Junkhacker
So, these disks have 3 parts in them and the last one is too small on the device for the image stored? Does that sound right?

@Junkhacker same ones - Dells w/250G HDD. I’m trying a deploy w/debug now

@Junkhacker I don’t think so - I think it was this machine, it was listed as a tester but I don’t know. All the machines he previously did were these dells with 250G drives. Strange.

@Wayne-Workman
Yes - but there’s a lot of programs and things that I don’t know much about that appear to be in the image. I was hoping to be able to figure it out at some later date.

@Junkhacker
I don’t have any larger disks in this junkpile left behind.

@Junkhacker
Well, it looked as though it mostly worked , it did /sda1, /sda2 but then it said the disk was too small to image /sda3. the machine boots to the windows recovery console - like if you had your cd in the drive to restore windows.

@Wayne-Workman
HOLY CR@P …Partclone started!!! Could it be???

It looks like it’s actually moving quickly…ten more minutes.

@Junkhacker
D’oh!
Please tell me where - config? TFTP?

@Junkhacker YES.
Updated fog user and created new admin account.
Started FOG and updated…looks like a version 7 - new interface, etc. Hosts and images still there.
Trying now - bugs have appeared again -I think they sense my desperation.

@Junkhacker Trunk has no items in its folder.

@Junkhacker Yes!!! Thank you.
But now at desktop not sure how to proceed. Should never have left (weeping)

@Junkhacker
can only get in with guest session -don’t know how to find users.
