markjs Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hello - for various reasons to long to mention here, i have 2 vmdk's created by a non Smart Deploy trained user. Ive brought these into VM Workstation. On trying to capture the image, i get an error 'Capturing guid partiton table virtual disks is not currently supported' IS there anyway around this? Either via Smart Deploy or VMworkstation 12 ? Im not able to convert the vm disk to mbr as its a system disk. If i change the VM to boot to BIOS, this fails, as mbr cant be found, Only boots to EFI. Any idea's ? Do i have to rebuild my images - hope not . . . . Windows 10 image VMWorkstation 12 Smart Deploy 2.0.2050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hello, Unfortunately, SmartDeploy does not support capturing UEFI virtual machines. SmartDeploy supports deploying via BIOS or UEFI, just not capturing UEFI so you will have to recreate the VM. Thanks, SmartDeploy Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjs Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 ok, thanks. So how do i get around this? In order to install my Win10 OS, i need to set my VM (VM workstation 12) to boot to UEFI. Booting to BIOS prevents the VM from booting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjs Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Is there anything in the pipeline for enabling capture of UEFI machines in Smart D ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Mark, Currently there is no plans on supporting capturing UEFI based VMs. You can capture a BIOS based VM, and then deploy to a BIOS or UEFI enabled machine.

eburnett Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 (Passing thru) - I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) as long as you boot UEFI and setup, you're golden. If you're trying to set up the disk for GPT, shift+f10 (diskpart, convert GPT) after language selection. I haven't checked GUIDs, but my boots show up as UEFI (didn't have to do anything fancy VM - just add programs and capture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassANetwork Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I guess this is also why I am receiving this error with the Windows 10 Secure Host Baseline v10.1.0. SmartDeploy sees the Virtual Disk partitions in both the VMWare and VirtualBox 5 reference images I made, all of them, but for some reason I consistently get the error: "Unable to locate a system volume. At least one volume needs to contain an installation of Windows. Unable to continue. (Code: 1) Just trying to get a working deployment method with DVD/BluRay for a closed system.
