So I am running 1.1.1 and I am imaging Windows 8.1 machines from Dell. The computers are all OEM and I have not changed anything except turing Secure boot off and enable legacy boot to get it to boot. Everything works perfectly, uploading, deploying registration etc. The only issue I have is when it is done deploying, Windows says startup needs to be fixed. I can run the bootsec commands and it works. But is there a way I can deploy without having to fix the boot on every machine?

You run it on the client you are trying to image.[/quote]

I am having this same issue.

I went into the fog compatibility menu and I get a parted prompt, with a message that says Warning /dev/sda contains GPT signatures…etc…but I am getting invalid tokens when I try to type anything in. This does make sense reading through the post. But this drive was OEM from Dell, why would it have this issue?

[quote=“John Finley, post: 26117, member: 23810”]So I found the solution to this issue. I had installed Windows 7 on a machine that formerly was a Ubuntu Box. I tried to use Clonezilla - which identified the issue. I won’t pretend I knew what was going on so here is what they said about it:

[FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]You might have installed an OS with GPT partition table, and later overwrite the disk by installing another OS with MBR partition table. The MBR partition table editor, e.g. fdisk, sfdisk, or cdisk does not know GPT, so it overwrite part of the GPT partition table, but did not clean the rest completely. Therefore that’s why you got such a message.[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]If you are sure your running OS is using MBR partition table, not GPT one, you can run[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]sudo sgdisk -z /dev/sdx[/COLOR][/FONT]

The box I was trying to image was formerly an Ubuntu box, which I installed Windows 7 on. I did delete the partitions, but apparently that didn’t matter.

[FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]This worked. Just thought I’d include this for posterity. Thankfully now that this is out of the way hopefully I can put the FOG server I’ve (and the excellent guys who support FOG) invested so much time into to good use.[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote]

This may sound like a dumb question, but where do you run that command? On the fog server?

[quote=“tjd230, post: 26180, member: 23826”]I did all of that. Just to be sure, I am doing a re-image of one of the machines that failed over the weekend.[/quote]

Nope, still broken. I cannot wrap my head around why this isn’t working.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26136, member: 7271”]Windows 8/8.1 UEFI/GPT Imaging and FOG 0.33, for now, requirements to successfully image upload or download are:

1.) Disable secure boot. (Truly disable it. Some motherboards will report it as disabled, but not actually disable it, so to verify, try booting to an EFI Shell if possible. Usually this can be done through the bios as well.)
2.) Perform Image task (upload or download).
3.) Re-enable Secure boot.[/quote]

I did all of that. Just to be sure, I am doing a re-image of one of the machines that failed over the weekend.

I did use multiple partition single disk non resize

I might actually have an issue. I am getting no boot device found upon reboot. Win 8 image. I feel like I saw this somewhere, but cannot remember where. Any other information?

Well I am completely up and running! Thank you guys so much for your patience and support!

Well that is working wonderfully. Thank you Travis! Now I just have to find the right one that will work for me. o_O

Hmm ok. Well I suppose I could try pulling a raw image then. Otherwise I am sitting dead in the water.
