Description

In the process of two-stage imaging, the target device  gives an error of "Missing Operating System" after it is configurd to  boot from network . 

Resolution

>>Started the (Automatic) Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider services on target device .
>>Remove, if  any, additional  drive   attached to the target device.(Ony OS drive)

Problem Cause

Imaging Wizard and P2PVS require the source virtual machine to have both Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider services enabled to perform an imaging operation. If either or both of Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider services are set to Disabled, the imaging operation fails.
