Are you using the .wim from the installation media.

Use a task sequence to create a reference PC, capture that to a .wim and use that .wim in your OSD process.

Microsoft made the original install.wim files on the DVD from the D:\.

SO if you install those you get a D:\ for your OS.

look at this technet blog why it happens http://blogs.technet.com/b/inside_osd/archive/2007/08/08/why-does-vista-end-up-on-the-d-drive.aspx

Hi Eswar,

Thanks for your great explanation.

Yes,i'm using .wim from the W7 installation media.

I have tried before using the TS to captured an OS images from reference pc and use that .wim in my OSD process by refer to the link http://www.opsvault.com/how-to-manually-capture-an-os-image-using-configmgr/ .

But my TS process end up with the window blue screen and error with "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause" after the state Post Install- setup windows and configmgr .

Is it any wrong with that captured image ?

Please advice.

 

Thanks
