This document will explain the steps to fix booting issues after a successful OS deployment.

## Steps

Ensure that the required OS partition and system-reserved partitions are selected while creating the image and deployment template. If not, create a new image without de-selecting the default partitions or select all the available partitions and create a new deployment template using that image and try deployment.

Verify that the following BIOS settings are identical on both the source and target machines:

- Boot firmware mode
- Secure boot mode
- SATA settings

Follow the steps given below if the issue persists:

1. Download the XML from this [link](https://download.manageengine.com/products/os-deployer/osdboot.zip) in the machine where Endpoint Central server is installed.
2. From the downloaded XML files, copy `DisableSATARegistry.xml` and `EnableSATARegistry.xml` files and paste them into the installation path *DesktopCentral_Server\bin*.
3. Open Windows command prompt and execute the command:

   ```
   ExecuteQuery.bat DisableSATARegistry.xml
   ```

4. Try deployment after disabling the settings. If the issue persists, try deployment after enabling the settings using the command:

   ```
   ExecuteQuery.bat EnableSATARegistry.xml
   ```

If the issue persists even after following the above steps, please contact osdeployer-support@manageengine.com with server logs and the deployment status UI screenshot.
