Re: Does the TARGET server need to be running a 64 bit OS if the initiator wants to run a 64 bit OS?

I build the Window 7, 64 bit OS on the initiator and, then I remove the HD and up load the OS to the Linux target using "dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/erincof/W7_64.img bs=8225280 count=6885"

Any suggestions on where I went wrong?

Thank you,

Erin

No problem...

You probably manipulated the as installed geometry inadvertently while
uploading the data to the iSCSI target.

Not at all...

Elaborate on how you perform the install/setup.
