They just checked to see if it was running from a USB flash drive. Unfortunately when they put this fix in place, they did not also check what OS is being deployed.

The drives and correctly create the boot.ini file. Since the Task Sequence is now running from the hard drive, it can properly enumerate To remedy the situation, if the Task Sequence detected it had booted from a USB flash drive, at theДЄpply Operating System task, it stages the boot image to the local hard drive, reboots to the boot image from the hard drive, and then continues the Task Sequence from there. This would cause the boot.ini to be incorrectly created, leading to a boot failure when it rebooted out of WinPE. Than if booted from a CD or a hard drive.

When deploying Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 from a USB flash drive, the drives would enumerate differently 'The reason the boot image is being staged to the local hard drive goes back to a bug in the RTM version of ConfigMgr 2007. Set it to boot from the HD FIRST, then the bootable media, problem fixed! From Microsoft Premier support: I went round and round with this issue and finally got it resolved. Why does this reboot and stage happen with a Standalone media build? Why does it need to exit PE, and stage the boot image? when it has allready loaded the boot image? Is this a limitation of standalone media? or something to do with my task sequence? Cheers The HP Mе…ѓ50 G6,G5 servers we are building dont seem to have an option to change boot sequence on the fly(like desktop pc's have) without going into bios and resetting boot order manauly. After this i need to unplug the USB stick, wait for it to boot into PE, then put it back in when asked to insert task sequence media.

From the smsts.log file it appears to fail with the error 'not a data image' at which point an ApplyOSRetry is called and theВ PE boot image isВ downloaded and restarted. However when creating USB standalone media build of the same task sequence, it gets to the step of deploying the imageВ Image, andВ shows on the GUIВ 'staging boot image', then reboots. When deployed using bootable media, i.e mount CDROM then downloads image settings etc from server it all works great. I have created a SCCM OSD task sequence, which deploys a OS image.
