I can pull and push XP fine, but the hardware is older. I even loaded Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 on a VM and the client for that popped up I'm rebooting for a task, but just kept running and never reboots.<br />
<br />
I'll look at what partitions r hiding.

Scott -<br />
<br />
The OS value in fog at this point is somewhat meaningless. The only point it is used in the code as of 0.28 is to handle windows 7 partitioning and it is supplied by the user so detection isn't an issue. I would try the following:<br />
<br />
1. If you haven't already make sure that you can upload an XP image just to make sure that your storage and network environment is setup correctly.<br />

<br />
2. Go into disk manager on the windows 7 box and look at the number of partitions on the hard drive. Fog makes a lot of assumptions when it comes to windows 7 and at the moment it assumes a ~100MB boot partition followed by an OS partition. If there are recovery partitions or other fun stuff added by your system manufacture you can either reload the machine to only have the two partitions or use a multiple partition image which isn't re-sizable but should work. If the multiple partition option isn't working it wouldn't hurt to try setting your OS to Windows XP in fog and then trying a multiple partition upload to avoid the many hard coded windows 7 values and hacks. unicast and same subnet, just…tag:semteck12.ning.com,2010-05-13:2578996:Comment:47222010-05-13T00:33:48.000ZScott Evershttp://semteck12.ning.com/profile/ScottEvers

Windows 7 any version should work.<br />
<br />
I think you are seeing 2 different issues here:<br />
1. In debug mode the OS error is because either the machine has no operating system value set in fog or the debug feature is broken and is lacking the "osid=5" portion of the kernel command line when booting.<br />
<br />
2. Given that you are seeing a "Please Wait..." screen I am guessing you have uploaded an image and are receiving this when trying to image the machine. The "Please Wait" screen appears during…

<br />
2. Given that you are seeing a "Please Wait..." screen I am guessing you have uploaded an image and are receiving this when trying to image the machine. The "Please Wait" screen appears during multicast deployments while the server is waiting for all of the clients to connect. Multicast deployments may require switch configuration depending on your local lan setup and will likely require that you turn on and configure igmp snooping in order to prevent it from flooding your network with udp traffic. Multicast routing and other parameters need to be setup if you are trying to multicast across subnets or over the wan. I would try to deploy the client/group again with unicasting which is just the down arrow icon first and then worry about multicasting later.

Are you trying to push a resize up, or non-resize?
