We are finally creating our OSD infrastructure, just this week. Getting stuck while injecting Mass Storage into Windows XP. I keep getting the error Failed to install mass storage driver. Code 0xe0000000. The odd thing is that the OS is applied and if rebooted will boot fine. Checking the Critical Device Database the driver was actually injected. Below is a snippet from the log and the 1st encounter of the error. Has anybody encountered this before? Adding mass storage driver to critical device database.

I'm assuming you are using an Apply Driver Package task, correct? Is this a Build & Capture or a Deployment TS? How did you build the TS? Using the built-in wizard? Where in the TS is the driver task at?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys

Can you share the task sequence and the smsts.log Sumesh P - Microsoft Online Community Support
