Two parition Template does not boot
Hello,
Am currently testing the Snap deploy product on a old IBM R51 notebook to see how well it worked. This is what i've done so far.
1) Created Master image of a two partition setup. One partition this the restoration parition which is a small fat parition that only boots when you hit a "Access IBM" key on boot. The other is a Windows XP professional build in a NTFS partition.
2) Created Template based on this partition with most of the defaults.
3) Created boot media for Snap Deply Agent.
4) Wipped the two partitons off the drive on this test R51 computer.
5) Booted with the CD media on the test computer and connected to the snap deploy server and selected that template send it back to the test computer.
6) Monitored the logs on the SD server and it finished the deployment of that template sucessfully.
Rebooted and found that the Windows XP would not boot. What it does it keeps booting into the restoration partition instead of the WIndows XP partation.
Booted with a Windows XP Install CD and confirmed that both paritions where created deployed down to the computer.
Any ideas what I must have done wrong. Possbily in the Template settings?
Thanks
Robert

Anton,
Save supplied the screen dumps of the template configuration and uploaded to FTP location you speced. It is there now for you.
Tried to run the Acronis report 51 via diskette boot on the R51 but it just keeps displaying "Starting Acronis Loader" again and again and seems to go no further. I checked the diskette after six repeats of this display and there was no "report.txt" on the disk. I'm thinking the same problem that is causing the computer not to boot is also causing this issue.
Please look at what I've sent you so far to see if that is enough info for a solution.
Thanks so much for you help thus far.
