Hi guys,

I am trying to deploy XP SP3 images with MDT 2008 Update 1.
At the moment I am working with Lenovo ThinkPad T61 model as reference machine and I am using Win XP SP3 (slipstream).
This laptop has sata hard drive.
I have created the image in MDT 2008, inject network and sata drivers and install it by the Wizard.
After the capture process ended, the reference machine reboots but a BSOD is presented: unmountable_boot_device.
I know that with XP SP2 there is a problem with disk partitioning as mentioned here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931760 . I have to use workaround 2 to solve this problem.

I know that with XP SP3 has fixed this problem so I don't have to use the workaround.

Question: I have to edit manually the sysprep.inf to include the path to Sata drivers like this?

[Sysprep]
BuildMassStorageSection = YES

[SysprepMassStorage]
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"

Another question: A microsoft consultant suggest me to remove the line "ExtendOemPartition = 1"
I know that this line extended the disk to its full capacity: Is it right to remove it or not ?

Thanks a lot for the support.
Bye

You don't have to edit the sysprep.inf. Instead edit the task sequence. In the Preinstall branch under new computer only entry there is a disabled task sequence called Set Diskpart BIOS Compatibility Mode. Select it and go to its options tab and enable the task. Save the changes to the task sequence and rerun it on the system with your image. Should fix the issue.

I think you should use this workaround described in KB.

I am also using a lenovo T61 as my reference machine. Also using Windows XP SP3. I have not yet installed update 1 yet. I created a reg file called Custom_VDS.reg and saved the reg file in the scripts folder.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\VDS\ALIGNMENT]
"LessThan4GB"=dword:00000000
"Between4_8GB"=dword:00000000
"Between8_32GB"=dword:00000000
"GreaterThan32GB"=dword:00000000


I then added a command line to the task sequence directly underneath pre-install
reg import "%ScriptRoot%\Custom_VDS.reg"

And left the set diskpart compatibility mode to disabled.

as for the mass storage your sysprep.inf needs to look like this.

[Sysprep]
BuildMassStorageSection = YES

[SysprepMassStorage]
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2681&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2829&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5029&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IASTOR.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IASTOR.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IASTOR.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IASTOR.INF"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_282A&CC_0104="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IASTOR.INF" 

you will also need to disable the "Add Mass Storage Drivers to sysprep" script which runs the following cscript.exe "%SCRIPTROOT%\ZTIStoraageDriversSysprep.wsf".  If this script is run it will overwrite your sysprep.inf with plug and play id's for that specific model you are capturing overwriting what you have manually entered.   If you dont do it this way you will have trouble deploying to x61 models.
