Hello

I am doing an inplace refresh of Windows XP to Windows 7 using SCCM, I get it to run the USMT, however once it boots up into WINPE and attempts to format and partition the drive I get the following errors:

Disk 0 contains protected path "C:\_SMSTaskSequence" OSDDiskPart 12/14/2009 4:30:34 PM 1904 (0x0770)

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
