Hi! I am building a universal image to use for deployment using MDT 2008. The OS I am using is Windows XP Professional and I use VMWare to build it. So far I managed to create one single Win XP .wim-image that I have deployed on the following HP computers; dx5150, dc5100, nx8220, nx7400, 6510b and 6710b. The last HP computer I want to include is HP dx2200. But I just can't get it to work. The LTI process completes with no errors. But when I look in the Device Manager I get a warning under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (see attached screenshot). Any idea why I get that yellow warning? EDIT: I have manually installed HP sp34019 after I deployed the image to see if that would help. But it still won't work. I would appreciate any help to solve this. Then my universal image would be complete Regards Erik

Maybe there is an issue with the version of the driver and your BIOS? Sometimes drivers require certain BIOS versions to install properly.

If I install Windows XP directly from the XP media onto the dx2200 it works great. It's just when I apply the image I built using VMWare it won't work. Might that give you any idea what might go wrong?

Have you tried adding the mass-storage drivers to the image before you sysprep it? There are a plethora of guides on how to do that. I believe Ben Hunter has an excellent one on his old blog.

I added the mass storage drivers in my Sysprep.inf file. Either that didn't work. Or I got the wrong drivers. Anyone who succesfully built an image in VMWare or Virtual PC and then deployed it onto an HP dx2200?
