Dual-boot - windows partition installs, but Macintosh HD erases

[gfarabaugh]

When imaging for dual-booting machines, my macintosh HD erases and I end up only with a windows partition called BOOTCAMP.

Everything looks normal when copying the mac os captured dmg, installing bootcamp, partitioning, but at some point it seems to remove the Macintosh HD for good and it only leaves the BOOTCAMP partition (with a functional windows 7).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

We just started running into what may be the same thing on some machines today. During the imaging process, it unmounts our Macintosh HD when it says it's copying the Winclone image over. The drive never gets re-mounted and is not bootable so it just netboots again when finished. It only seems to be happening on some machines and not others.

We found that we only see the problem when using our 10.6 netboot image. It doesn't happen when using our 10.8 netboot image. It's possible that it's a size issue... we built in more free space to our 10.8 netboot image.

What size bootcamp are you using and whats the max % of drive?

Thanks!

Our Winclone image is about 11 GB. I have the Image Configuration set to create a 50 GB partition that's no more than 50% of the total drive.

I'll give it a try and let you know the result.

Thanks for the info!
