I'm using SCCM 2012 R2 (with .1104 patch) to deploy Win7x64. I have in in-place refresh task sequence that uses USMT offline and a WinPE 3.1 boot image. I'm having a weird problem with the boot image.
I can create boot media on USB with SCCM, and I can get my HP EliteBook 8440p to boot to that USB drive, but once the boot image is loaded into memory, it can't see the USB drive. The drive is USB 2.0, the port is USB 2.0, and I've tested with 3 different USB drive's and all 3 ports on the laptop.
I took the boot image a made a bootable CD instead. This works up until the drive is partitioned. The task sequence runs diskpart to clean the drive, then runs diskpart again to partition the drive. On the second diskpart call, it throws an error: diskpart encountered an error a device attached to the system is not functioning.
I'm assuming and hoping that the diskpart error is related to the usb issue, but I can't figure it out. I've loaded the storage drivers. When I first boot to WinPE, I can view the disk drive fine.
ideas?
