I have an RIS server established. This was done for the imaging of new pcs when they arrived. Works wonderfully.

The other day, I setup Linux on one of the new pcs and tested some things. When done, I hooked it up to the network, launched RIS and walked away.

When I returned, and error was displayed "Not enough space on HD" (summarized). I verified the hard drive and it is plenty large enough.

I have tracked the issue to be the failure of RIS to repartition the system. I have the repartion=yes string in both the unattended and remoteinstall sections of the sif file. I have the AutoPartition=1 set in the Data section. Yet it is still failing to repartition.

Help!!!!????

When you deploy a RIS image that was created by Riprep.exe, you receive:

Setup cannot copy the operating system image you selected.

This computer does not have enough disk space on the selected partition.

Contact your system administrator.
If the hard disk on the source (imaged) computer is larger that the hard disk on the destination (target) computer, you will receive this error.

NOTE: The RIS server stores the disk volume information in the Imirror.dat file that is associated with the image.

Per tip 5318 ? What are the restrictions for imaging clients using Riprep.exe:

The client's local hard disk must be of equal or greater size as the imaged computer.

To fix this problem, either re-create the RIS image on a smaller hard disk, or install a larger hard disk on the target computer.

The problem is not HD size. It is that setup is failing to wipe none MS partitions.
