Dell Optiplex 755 Review
of my existence! Long story short, my first SATA drive, a Maxtor 6B250S0 died a few months after I got it, and was covered under warranty. Upon receiving the new drive, I wanted to GHOST (v10) the old EIDE ATA Drive onto the new SATA drive. The operation succeeded except I could not make the new SATA drive the system drive. I eventually gave up and decided to rebuild the system. dell optiplex 755 motherboard I mention this only because I was able to successfully move all the contents of the old drive onto the new one (and I could access and manipulate the files, I just couldn't boot from the disk) -- the consistent problem was that after navigating the BIOS on boot up, I would receive "Error loading Operating System" when the OS should have taken over. Now to my existing problem. Actually, the same problem. I have killed the existing partition and low-level reformatted the drive. After copying all of the XP files onto the hard drive, I'm getting the same error -- "Error loading operating system". Here is what I have tried in no particular order: 1. Fixboot 2. FixMBR 3. Tried using Maxtors MAXBLAST to establish the a full 250 GB partition (running original XP disks; not SP1 or SP2) 4. Tried utilizing standard 137 GB partition via XP 5. Removed all EIDE cables except those utilized for CD-ROM/DVD access 6. Diag'ed the disk using Maxtor's Powermax (it's fine according to the diag) I'm tapped. No matter what I've tried, it does not appear to want to be anything other than a slave drive, EVEN THOUGH THE BIOS LISTS IT AS A MASTER DISK (and it is installed on SATA 1 on

So far the software is working as expected, however, I’m running into a problem deploying images. Each time I deploy an image I get an “error loading operating system” message on dell optiplex boot. Currently we have several sysprepped hdd’s that we use with a disk duplicator for routine imaging. I’m using one of these disks to upload an image. I pre-register the computer with fog and start an upload task for the host. Then I pxe-boot the host with the sysprepped disk and the image is uploaded successfully. Now, if I leave the disk in the computer and let it boot like dell optiplex 755 normal the mini-setup proceeds and I wind up with a successfully imaged computer. To confirm the image will work I turn around and start another task to deploy the new image back to the same computer. I pxe-boot again and the image is deployed. On reboot I get the “error loading operating system” message. I’ve tried setting the hdd mode to LBA as suggested by researching the problem but it doesn’t work. We are running the most recent version of fog on Ubuntu 10.4. I have the image setup for XP, single partition. What am I doing wrong? What other information would be helpful to troubleshoot?

Reply Quote 0 A Anthony Michaud last edited by Hi guys, I’m finding that this is also the case, I’m deploying Windows XP to older machines, and after attempting to WRITE an image that was previously resized, the image process fails, and then leaves the disk in a corrupted state. I am ONLY able to do full disk imaging with any success. Don’t know if this is relevant, but I’m using older machi
