Just because you deployed an update list with 80+ patches, doesn't mean they were all applicable for the target machine.

Do you have a network access account set up and configured?

I am trying to do something very similar ... my problems are elsewhere though As for your original query, do you have more than one partition already on the HDD? If you do, the bdehdcfg.exe -target default is likely to fail. I would suggest something like ... bdehdcfg.exe -target c: shrink -newdriveletter x: -size 300 -quiet I would avoid a -restart on that, and add a restart step into your task sequence.
