JustSomeDude Posted January 28, 2016 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Hello all! I've been trying to deploy Windows 7 64-bit to our new HP EliteDesk 800 65W G2 Desktop Mini PC. All goes OK up to apply operating system step (error occurs at the end of apply OS step). After downloading and applying OS.wim to C-drive, i get following errors to smsts.log: _________________________________________________________________________ Failed to save environment to (80070057) TSManager 28.1.2016 12:08:23 1348 (0x0544) Failed to save the current environment block. This is usually caused by a problem with the program. Please check the Microsoft Knowledge Base to determine if this is a known issue or contact Microsoft Support Services for further assistance. The parameter is incorrect. (Error: 80070057; Source: Windows) TSManager 28.1.2016 12:08:23 1348 (0x0544) Failed to persist execution state. Error 0x(80070057) TSManager 28.1.2016 12:08:23 1348 (0x0544) Failed to save execution state and environment to local hard disk TSManager 28.1.2016 12:08:23 1348 (0x0544) _________________________________________________________________________ After these errors there are other inputs in log, but I believe OSD failing is about these errors. When I try and start computer (in which OSD has failed) I get error: "An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" Any ideas why I'm getting these errors and how can I fix them? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted January 28, 2016 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 well it sounds like it can't write to the hard disc, can you attach the entire SMSTS.log file please ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSomeDude Posted January 28, 2016 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 well it sounds like it can't write to the hard disc, can you attach the entire SMSTS.log file please ? Here it is. I cleaned it a bit so it doesn't show too much sensitive info. I really hope you can help. Thanks in advance! smsts_fxd.log Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgen Nilsson Posted January 28, 2016 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Hi, It looks like it is something with the formating step, storage drivers or simply a format is needed.. as the TS throws this: "We do not find an available volume to store the local data path TSManager 2016-01-28 12:08:23 1348 (0x0544)" Are you using BIOS och UEFI? it says that the UEFI Format step is disabled.. /Jörgen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSomeDude Posted January 28, 2016 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Hello I'm using BIOS. Yes UEFI is disabled. I tried creating new task sequence step for format (which you can view from attachment). This didn't help. Computer still made C-drive, so it's pretty weird..

JustSomeDude Posted January 28, 2016 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Some update! When I changed partitioning from BIOS to UEFI the problem never occurred! Now I'm deploying OS and will report how everything goes when it's ready... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSomeDude Posted January 28, 2016 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 .......AAAAAAND EVERYTHING WORKS! Seems like that specific computer type has something against basic BIOS partitioning(?). Who cares, OSD works and now I'm happy! Case closed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mun_khan Posted September 27, 2016 Report post Posted September 27, 2016 hey, I have the same issue, where do you change BIOS to UEFI in Task sequence or on the Client BIOS setup? Regards AMK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
