xcorp Posted May 12, 2014 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Hi, I'm trying to deploy Windows 8.1 x64, but my task sequence fails with Error 80070032 – Failed to make volume bootable or The request is not supported. Background: I have two disks in my machine, im trying to deploy to my MSATA disk. I consider my MSATA disk as primary disk since it's faster than the sata and a bit smaller. The issue is that my Lenovo L430 is recognizing MSATA interface as DISK 1. So using the wizard in SCCM 2012 R2 to create an task sequence called "Install an existing image pack.", i setup an brand new task sequence. In the Format and Partition step i choose Disk Number 1. I save the task sequence and preform the necessary steps in order to make it available through PXE boot. Disks according to diskpart and bios - Disk 0 - SATA Disk 500gb - Disk 1 - MSATA Disk 120gb When I run the task sequence it fails with the error message given below. Error: System partition not set Volume C:\ is not on the boot disk and can not be made bootable. Failed to make volume C:\ bootable. Please ensure that you have set an active partition on the boot disk before installing the operating system. The request is not supported. (Error: 80070032; Source: Windows). The operating system reported error 2147942450: The request is not supported. If i remove my SATA disk and change in task sequence to Disk Number 1 it works fine. However i do not wish have to remove the disk since this is intended to be Zero Touch. I've tried to search the forums as well as google without any further luck. Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this issue? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazi Posted May 12, 2014 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 This appears to be a BIOS issue, not an SCCM issue. Your BIOS will not make Disk 1 the bootable disk when another disk is inserted because the other disk is recognized as Disk 0 - this is normal BIOS behavior. Check your BIOS settings and see if there are any manufacturer updates that will allow you to choose Disk 1 as your bootable hard drive.

xcorp Posted May 12, 2014 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 It works to install os manually to this disk when both disks are available and detected as described in first post. I have no clue, i even tried with an T430s with same setup and ended up with same end result. Has anyone successfully deployed os to disk number 1 according to My setup?

radish Posted May 9, 2020 Report post Posted May 9, 2020 Although this is very old post information, but recently I just researched this kind of multi-disk installation operating system on the hard disk with a disk number other than 0 to solve this problem. The first type: is to set the model of disk number 1 in the bios as the first boot disk, The second type: Just keep the boot sequence set in the partition 0 task sequence. When the OSD reaches the disk number 1, the boot file will be written to the partition 0. Solve the prompt message when applying the operating system Failed to make volume ? \ bootable. Please ensure that you have set an active partition on the boot disk before installing the operating system. The request is not supported.
