I am trying to create a bootable USB drive to image machines that don't have network access. When I run through the "Create Task Sequence Media" wizard I receive the following error. "Media creation failed with error code -2147211940. When I look at the CreateTsMedia.log I find this:
Beginning media generation Size of partition's is changed. Failed to query volume for the volume id, skipping (0x80042412) Failed to assign drive letter to the created partition(0x8004255C) Error formatting volume G:\ (0x8004255c) Failed to create media (0x8004255c) CreateTsMedia failed with error 0x8004255c, details='' MediaGenerator::~MediaGenerator() Media creation process that was started from Admin Console completed. CreateMedia.exe finished with error code 8004255c
I have tried this several times using different drive letters for the 64GB USB3.0 flash drive. I have also run through the process of cleaning and formatting the drive via diskpart using the steps below.
from admin CMD prompt
diskpart
select disk clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=ntfs quick assign exit
The Task sequence does run fine via PXE boot on the machines that I have tested on the network.
Thanks in advance,
