clivebuckwheat Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I built my reference image using vmware (fusion Mac osx) The hard disk size states 80 gig scsi in vmware. I put all my drivers in C:\Windows\inf\Drivers\Optiplex755 and sealed the machine with sysprep. It is a x64 Windows enterprise build.I then tried to deploy the image to a Dell Optiplex 755 machine. Windows 7 starts to boot I see the 3 colored balls and the machine then proceeds to shut down.Is there anyway I could troubleshoot this issue. For the life of me I can't figure out why the image will not boot?.Please advice. As I have always built my reference images on the actual physical hardware they were going to be deployed too.

Tripredacus Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 You should find the answer in one of the Panther folder logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 CBS.log might be useful, as would all of the logs in \panther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Make sure you are not installing the VMware tools into your reference image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivebuckwheat Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 I decided to use parallels instead of vmware, ever since then the image boots without issue. Something in vmware fusion is wrong, probably a setting I am unaware of. Make sure you are not installing the VMware tools into your reference image.
