Any changes to Ghost in the past week?
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 8 comments
I have images created for some HP desktop computers, I used them 3 weeks ago with no problems. Today I had to push the image (that works) to another machine, no errors while imaging. I rebooted after the image completed and the OS is gone. I thought I did something wrong, I tried it again on another machine, same thing - no OS. I tried another model of computer with a known good image, it too had the os disappear.
Can anyone tell what the problem is? User error? I already updated the BIOS.

Hi Nicole,
Since nothing should have changed in Ghost in the past week, probably you would have found the cause already.
However, I presume that you use Console. In that case, what was the state of the machine when you deploy the image? (i.e. was it in Winodws/Dos, Virtual Partition or PXE ect.)

Hi Nicole,
Since you have seen the cloning process going through, most likely situation here is not updating MBR with the correct information. It could be MBR was not updated, but I cannot think of a reason yet.
What kind of a network issue you had? If it causes the clone session to hang at the last minute, the outcome could be undefined.
One option is to use Gdisk (booting the machine using a CD/Floppy etc.) and see what you have in the disk. I'm not sure the exact wording in your error message, but it could be not making the partition active.

Hi Nicole,
In your first post you said you could image them successfully couple of weeks back.
Now do you get all these issues in the same machines?

Hi Nicole,
Regarding HP notebooks, could you have a look at the thread
https://forums.symantec.com/syment/board/message?b...
most probably you are facing the same issue.
About the other machine in which the OS disappear after cloning, are there any diskdrive tools such as disk drive overlay drivers installed?
