11.3 "Trying to restore MBR based image in to UEFI machine"

Hey guys,
We recently upgraded to ZCM 11.3 from 11.2.4.
When we image our PC's we boot them from Boot CD's, we can then choose the automatic option and the imaging bundles on the server are applied to the PC's.
Since upgrading to 11.3, and now using the new bood cd's that came with it, when the PC's get to the blue imaging screen (where you would usually get the progress bar) instead they get a box pop up saying "Trying to restore MBR based image in to UEFI machine"
If I try the manual option and try to upload an image I get "Trying to make MBR based image from UEFI machine"
If I use an older boot CD I can upload and restore images fine, but I can't use the imaging bundles because it tells me I need a newer version of the software.
I have tried the normal boot CD and the bootcd_tntfs.iso (after uploading the latest tux driver)
This was all working fine before 11.3. does anyone have any idea how I can get round this (its a pain having to manually put the addon images on.)
Thanks
Dave

If you roll using Lagacy Only, you but down a normally MBR image,
right?

  • Trying to restore Macbook Pro back up from Time Machine.

    Trying to restore MacBook Pro from backup thru Time Machine. Got message asking "Do you want to replace your current copy of "Desktop" with the one your're restoring?

    I think you are not restoring your files in the correct way.
    If what you want to do is to restore a complete Time Machine backup, you have to do it in OS X Recovery, so first hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up. Then, choose the option to restore a Time Machine backup, and follow its steps.
    If you want to restore individual files, you cannot restore that type of user files because you are using them. Instead, you can restore individual files in your user folders. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

  • I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

    I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential  files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

    You need to do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.

  • Lost all my data when tried to restore windows from image backup. What to do now(for free)?

    Dear Friends,
    My Server: HP DL380-G7, OS: Win Server2008 (original).
    10 days ago when one of my web application is not working I tried to restore my file in old state. So I apply "Windows image backup" services. After completing the process I found that I can't boot. And later when I installed a new OS I discover
    all my data from dives gone even from my attached USB hard drive.
    HELP ME!!!!! Its my greatest mistake in my 7 years career.
    What to DO!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    Above all, whether the USB disk is also included in your system state backup? If so, the restore will also restore the USB disk back to the status when creating that backup.
    As data is gone from the USB disk, please make sure there is no any new file wrote onto that disk. Then you can try some third party data recovery tool which could help get the files back. Generally such kind of applications are not free but you can still
    search for any application with free version or trail version.

  • Trying to restore after crash and rebuild but Time Machine isn't seeing my NAS drive.

    My MacBook Pro had it's first crash in 6 years or daily use and abuse. Came home from work and had the "You need to restart your mac, hold down the power button" screen in 10 languages. After a heart attack, a visit the the neighborhood bar for a couple shots, I came home and spent most of the night troubleshooting:
    wouldn't boot in safe mode (holding down shift...just sat there with the grey apple and spinning icon for hours)
    booted off OS disc and ran Disc Utility (it said everything was fine)
    booted with hardware test off install disc and ran extended test (said everything was fine)
    Still wouldn't boot off hardrive, so I gave up and said "hey, this is why I spent hundreds on the backup drive and have been running Time Machine for a month, so I'll just wipe it clean and restore." Well...here's where the fun begins:
    Erased the disc and reloaded Snow Leopard. All seems to be working fine. Mac sees the Buffalo Linkstation Duo drive just fine, can copy info back and forth...all's good. I reboot using the Snow Leopard disk and go to Utilities/Restore ... and the drive isn't there to restore from. The drive is obviously operating fine...this is an issue with Time Machine (likely one of Apple's 'If you don't buy our product we're going to make it really hard for you" type of things).
    Any Ideas on how to get it to show up?
    Thanks

    Thanks baltwo
    I saw Pondini's comments on several posts that were related but either not quite the same issue, or noone had figured out the solution yet. I think I may have it solved though.
    I found a couple posts elsewhere that laid out some clear solutions. I tried them and they appear to have worked...it's working on a restore now, it says two hours left so I'll know soon.
    The big part I was missing was how to mount the drive from Terminal when working off the OS disc. After booting regularly off the harddrive, I was able to connect to the NAS using terminal with SMB://ipaddress ... and it would even stay connected after regular reboot...however after rebooting using the CD is no longer saw the NAS, not in Time Machine or Disk Utility or System Profile. I tried smb again using the Terminal in the Utilities menu but it wouldn't accept it.
    I found this info on how to mount and it worked like a charm...http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2009103103534090  .... then TimeMachine saw the drive and everything so far has gone smoothly.
    I did bookmark Pondini's site for forther reading later, seemed to have some good info there.

  • Disk Utility Restore from Sparse Image taking forever

    I created a sparse image backup of my MBP C2D using SuperDuper! before sending the laptop back to Apple for repair. I wiped the drive clean before shipping. I now have the laptop back and am trying to restore the sparse image to the HD.
    The sparse image file is on an HD in my G5 tower and is just over 108 GB. I booted the G5 into target disk mode and connected it to my MBP via FW800. I then booted off the Leopard install disk and launched Disk Utility to do the restore.
    The sparse image mounts fine in Disk Utility and is specified as my source for the restore.
    I started this restore last night before I checked out for the night and when I got up this morning, Disk Utility showed about 35-40% of the image had been restored and 14 HOURS were remaining. That seems a little excessive after it had already been running for well over 9 - 10 hours.
    The sparse image mounts on the MBP just fine using target disk mode from my G5 -- so as far as can tell, my backup image itself is ok.
    My question is this: is the Restore function performance of Disk Utility with sparse images really this bad or is something wrong with what I am doing? I really don't want to rebuild my laptop from scratch, but if I have to wait 34 or more hours for Disk Utility to finish a restore -- it might be quicker to rebuild it.
    Any ideas out there?

    no the restore function is not this bad.
    something must be wrong with your sparse image. you should have tested it before sending the computer for repairs. and why did you use a sparse image at all?! you should have made (and tested) a standard clone.

  • I tried to restore pictures from iPhoto and my back up drive was locked.  When I clicked the icon to replace it gave me an error message that the pictures were locked. Now I can't open iPhoto. It says I have to reinstall it?

    I was trying to restore my photos in Iphoto through time machine.  When I did so I clicked on the icon to replace and then a message saying that certain files were locked.  I don't know how to unlock the files and now I cant open my iphoto.  Another message appears saying that I have to reistall the app.  I don't know how to do this either.  Any help Please.

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.

  • Help: Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware

    I want to recover a complete image of a Windows 7 operating system I have backed up to my other server. But I am getting the error "Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware. The System Image was created by a computer using BIOS and this computer is using EFI"
    The image was definitely taken from this machine - the firmware has not changed!
    What do I need to do to restore the image?
    Background Story ..
    I bought a new HP 255 laptop per-installed with Windows 7 without Operating Systems instal disks (I will NEVER be stupid enough to do that again!).
    I took a complete image of the systems, as suggested so that I was well backed up.
    However, my machine corrupted its operating systems with a few weeks. The boot recovery CD did not work (would not boot). So in desperation, and because time was short I went out and bought another, legitimate copy of Windows 7 DVD with a license key (So now I have 2, legitimate copies of the operating system!).
    I installed the new copy of Windows 7 - but it was dreadful, because many drivers were missing. Mostly the missing drivers were not available on the HP support site for this machine. ALso, boot up was increadibly slow compared to the original OS installation.
    So I created a new boot recovery disk from the new version of Windows, and tried to restore using that. New boot disk loads ok, I can find the old image on my network (after loading a few network drivers). But I won't instal the image - giving the above error message.
    I tried deleting the EFI partition from the disk (using GPARTED to reformat that partition). That killed the Windows 7 on the machine - but still gives the same error message when I try to re-image the machine.
    I have tried going into the BIOS settings .. HP 255 has a "Legacy Mode" - which I have enabled, but this makes no difference at all!
    I think that the kind of solutions I am looking for might be:
    1. There is a clever way of disabling EFI on my 255 so that it looks like a legacy BIOS machine, or
    2. This EFI this is wired into my new boot recovery disk - and there is a way of creating a boot recovery disk that does not use EFI
    This has taken me about 2 weeks so far,please help with any suggestions!

    Erico,
    I suspect that "MSDOS" is what the Gparted tool calls "MBR" for a partition table, as explained here:
    http://superuser.com/questions/700770/mbr-equals-msdos-for-gparted
    I think that you are suggesting I give up on trying to recover the image I have stored on my server and just to instal Windows 7 from my new copy. There are two problems with this.
    1. After having systematically downloaded all of the drivers from the HP 255 notebook support page, I am still seeing missing drivers listed. Install the AMD graphics softpaq driver first. It also contains the chipset drivers.
    2. The machine is taking a hugely long time to boot up, and seems much slower with this version. Maybe that is a product of using "EFI" rather than "bios" - I don't know.
    My assumption is that HP had some special set-up option with their version of Windows which makes the machine more performant. It does not seem to be a coincidence that the image they deliver the machine with is not quite compatible with a 'normal' Windows 7 instal.
    So my original question stands: How do I recover the image that I saved away (as per instructed) when I first bough the machine?
    You still have not said what you used to create the system image. What is the "image" file's extension?
    You are mistaken in your comparison. MSDOS is an operating sytem MBR is a partitioning scheme.  that is comparing apples to oranges. 
    The article is making an oblique reference in that using GPARTED is more or less equated to using the diskpart utility at the command line. Everything done at the comand line is essentially  done by use of MSDOS commands. GPARTED does the same thing with LINUX commands via a graphical interface so you don't have to type in the commands in a  Linux console.
    Do you mean making a backup? a backup is not a clone which can be reproduced on different hardware. The SSD disk replacement does make the hardware differ from the original configuration.

  • Need to Restore MBR

    I was trying to install a modified version of XP using Boot Camp. After partitioning the drive, I couldn't get it to install. In an act of desperation, I followed some ill-advised "support" on another forum, and ended up manually deleting the Boot Camp partition as well as the smaller partition and trying to install it that way. It didn't work and Boot Camp couldn't erase the partition because I messed with it.
    I booted up from my install disk and ran Disk Utility to bring my hard drive back to 1 partition and restored my data from my Time Machine backup. However, trying to use Boot Camp again, I still got "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition" error.
    Also, I found there was no option to boot from my hard drive from the "Startup Disk" menu. Only Network Startup and the install disk (when it's inserted) are available as startup options. I can only boot from Macintosh HD after holding the option key at startup. I tried booting from my install disk and used Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair the disk. That didn't solve the problem.
    After doing some research I figured out I might have a problem with my master boot record (mbr). Sure enough, after running rEFIt, a partition inspector, I received the following report (I have no idea what to do from here):
    * Report for internal hard disk *

    If I'm reading this correctly it says you have only one partition and it is a hfs+ partition.
    That of course will be your Leo partition starting at sector 63.
    Sector 1-63 is reserved for the 200MB EFI partition on intel macs.
    if you restored your drive to one partition, then you will of course, have no multiple startup
    option, simply because it is not needed, there is only one bootable partition.
    You can verify this by typing this command at the terminal.app prompt:
    diskutil list
    Here is a sample output from my machine:
    /dev/disk1
    #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
    0: GUIDpartitionscheme *465.8 Gi disk1
    1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk1s1

    3: Apple_HFS Leopard 50.4 Gi disk2s3
    4: Microsoft Basic Data XP 32.0 Gi disk2s2
    Please note that the EFI partition is always first. It holds data about the any MBR partitions that
    exist and passes it on to apple's firmware. If no MBR partition exists it is in fact empty.
    With the current GUID setup on Apple machines, there can only be one MBR partition. Of course
    hfs+ file systems do not qualify and can never become the MBR partition. The MBR partition can
    be fat12 or 16, fat32 or NTFS file systems.
    You can in fact have multiple hfs+ partitions (data or bootable) on the same drive, but only one
    partition may contain a bootable master boot record.
    The MBR partition must be located as the last partition on the drive.
    It can be multi boot with a boot manager such as refit or Microsoft's NTLDR.
    When boot camp creates the Microsoft Basic File System it places a generic Master Boot Record
    in the MBR partition as a placeholder. Windows creates its own boot record during installation.
    The information linking the master boot record to the Apple firmware is written to the EFI partition
    The Firmware retrieves the information used to boot MBR based operating systems from there.
    You can manually create a bootable MBR partition with disk utility as long as you know the above
    rules. It must be the last partition on the drive and must be formatted with the correct file system
    by Disk Utility or a third party software such as ipartition (which allows an advanced user many
    more options than Disk Utility). Whatever software is used to do the job, it must be capable of
    creating the MBR partition, writing a placeholder MBR and correctly recording the information in
    the EFI partition.
    I hope this gives you the insight you need to properly prepare your windows installation.

  • Problems Restoring From Disc Image

    Hello Support Community
    I'm attempting to replace a suspected failing HD on my G5.  I made a disc image of the suspected drive in disc untility, and have it on an external drive.  I purchased a 500GB WD Cavier Black HD for my new drive.  I removed the old drive, and put the new one in.  I noticed on the old drive that there was a jumper installed all the way to the right when the drive is installed in the machine.  I tried restoring with the jumper installed, and without.  I had better luck with the jumper installed.  I got an error that said device does not support this action when I tried to restore to the new drive without the jumper installed.  Now, without the jumper installed, when I go to restore from my disc image, I get a Restore Failure error saying "An error (2) occurred while copying.  (No such file or directory)"  Once I click ok, and try it again, I now get a message that says "An error (16) occurred while copying.  (Resource Busy)" 
    Any ideas what my problem would be at this point?  It seems as though my .dmg is functioning just fine.  It mounts, and looks to have all contents of my old boot drive.  The new drive is able to be formatted just fine.  Did I buy the wrong tupe of drive?  Is it too new?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hello,
    I think you might need a Jumper on pins 5&6 to slow the drive to G5 SATA 1 speeds...
