Capture & Deploy TS Failing

[fotc]

I have 2 task sequences...one to capture the existing XP image to a network share...and another to deploy the Win7 OS and install required software.

Both TS's run just fine independently, but when I combine them into one full process, it fails at the beginning of the deployment phase (diskpart).

 

The workstations are configured with WinXP, 1 hard disk with 2 partitions (C & D)....c is the OS and d is for miscellaneous data.

 

Server is Win 2k3 Ent R2 w/ SCCM 2007 SP2 R2 w/ MDT integrated.

 

After combining the task sequences, I get access denied... this is the error:

 

The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Partition Disk 0) in the group (Install Operating Systems) with the error code 5

I'm almost positive it's failing because the TS and other data is being written to the D partition (the protected path); but i don't know how to make the _SMSTaskSequence folder to be written elsewhere. I'm not using USMT at all. I'm using the ZTIBackup.wsf script to perform the backup task.
