I'm trying to re-image a new model of PC we are getting from our vendor, OSD starts up OK, and the drive gets partitioned and formatted, but when it tries to proceed on to put the OS on the disk I get a 80004005 error. When I look in my logs this is what I see: ------------------------------------------------------- The task sequence execution engine successfully completed the action (Partition Disk 0) in the group (Install Operating System) with exit code 0 Action output: tem32\diskpart.exe" /s "X:\WINDOWS\TEMP\osddiskpart.txt" Executing command line: "X:\WINDOWS\system32\diskpart.exe" /s "X:\WINDOWS\TEMP\osddiskpart.txt" Process completed with exit code 0 Formatting partitions Formatting drive C: with NTFS filesystem,method quick Creating instance of service loader Loading service Waiting for service to initialize Querying for software providers Found a VDS software provider Querying for IVdsSwProvider Querying for packs Found a VDS pack Querying for IVdsPack Querying for volumes Found a VDS software provider Querying for IVdsSwProvider Querying for packs Found a VDS pack Querying for IVdsPack Querying for volumes Found a VDS volume Querying for IVdsVolumeMF Querying for access paths Found a VDS pack Querying for IVdsPack Querying for volumes Found a VDS volume Querying for IVdsVolumeMF Querying for access paths Found a volume with access path 'C:\' Querying for IVdsVolume Querying for IVdsVolumeMF OSDDiskPart.exe completed successfully.

This is a completely new design that is now using a Core i5 processor with a Intel DQ76SW motherboard. I tried changing the SATA hard drive to IDE (Compatibility mode), but that did not help. Any suggestions?

could this disc be the new advanced format drive ? maybe that's causing an issue ?: what version of WinPE are you using ? if you try changing your diskpart step to do as follows instead does it work ? Select disk 0 Create partition primary align=1024 Format fs=ntfs Quick Active Assign Exit My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

This is a newer model hard drive, however I tried to use a hard drive out of an older computer that the same image works with and I was still having the same issue. If I remember correctly Win PE is 3.0, I'm blanking on how to check right now. Where would I make those setting changes at? Would I have to setup a custom command line as opposed to the default partitioning step?

create a custom partition step if the drive=42 and it should replace the standard step, please test this as i'm interested in the result if it's not an AFD drive issue and you are deploying XP then you could have issues with storage drivers being missing, what os are you deploying ?

Thanks for the advice, I will give it a try on Monday morning and will post back and let you know. For the moment this is only going to be for a Windows 7 PC, however, I might need to retrofit it for Windows XP.

Well, unfortunately, I tried the custom step, and it came back with the same error message: The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Apply Operating System) in the group (Install Operating System) with the error code 2147500037 Action output: "%1" %* Set command line: "OSDApplyOS.exe" /image:NUH00032,1 Not a data image ApplyOSRetry: TSLaunchMode: PXE OSDUseAlreadyDeployedImage: FALSE Searching for next available volume: Volume C:\ is a valid target.

Hi, The SCCM will try to check the disk partition from WMI and we are failed in this process. When an active partition is created on a hard drive, it automatically becomes a bootable device if a valid operating system has been installed. If your PXE NIC is after the hard drive in the boot order, the hard drive will try to boot before PXE and boot to Windows, or cause an Invalid System Partition error if Windows is not installed. To resolve this issue, be sure that PXE is placed before the hard drive in the boot order.

The issue that I am having is not booting in to OSD or Windows. The problem is when OSD is running and it reaches the portion where it is supposed to partition and format the hard drive to reimage a PC I am getting the error message above.

Well, let me oddities continue. Believe it or not my isssue was cased because I was proactive and loaded the SATA controller drivers from Intel. On a whim, I went back and removed the drivers and tried it again, and sure enough, now my image goes through without and issue. Thanks for the suggestions all.

Please, let me know. Where have you loaded the Intel Drive? In the WIM image or in the Task Sequence ?Regards, Samir Farhat Infrastructure Consultant

False alarm on the all solved. Unfortunatly I got it to work 1 time, but cannot get it to happen again. I have the Intel drivers loaded in the Boot Image

So, I finally found a solution to this. I had to change the boot order in the BIOS to boot from the network before the hard drive and let the PC do the PXE boot itself, if I hit F12 to manually PXE boot it does not work.
