Trouble deploying Windows 8 using UEFI to HP Laptop

[DavidK]

Hello,

 

Im a bit of a newbie to SCCM so hear goes;

 

I am trying to deploy Windows 8 64 bit to a HP 8470p laptop using UEFI. The build is failing on an error code of 80004001 or (0x80004001)

 

I have attached a screen shot of the task sequence editor that I am using at the bottom of the page.

 

When I search through the smsts.log file I am coming across the following error messages either in Red or Yellow

 

[system partition not set

[unable to locate a bootable volume. Attempting to make C:\ bootable.

 

Volume C:\ has an NTFS filesystem

 

Marking partitions active is only supported for MBR disks.

 

Unable to activate partition (0x80004001)

 

Failed to make volume C:\ bootable. Code 0x80004001

 

Failed to make volume C:\ bootable. Please ensure that you have set an active partition on the boot disk before installing the operating system.

System partition not set]

Unable to locate a bootable volume. Attempting to make C:\ bootable.]L

 

If anyone has any knowledge of why this is happening or how I can correct it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

At a guess from your logs: Marking partitions active is only supported for MBR disks.... you have GPT set in your TS

Hi David,

 

Look at below white paper called "Deploying the Latitude 10 with Windows 8 using Configuration Manager 2012"

It should help you

[anyweb]

if you are deploying to a UEFI only system then you need to partition it for GPT disks, you cannot install Windows in UEFI mode on MBR discs,

i've created a guide to show you exactly how to do this for the Microsoft Surface Pro, the only thing you'd need to change is the boot image if the architecture is x86, you can read the guide here.

Hi @anyweb, I'm exactly into the same issue. I'm trying to install a OS in Hyper-V VM. It exactly gives the error as above mentioned. Format and Partition Disk is configured with GPT Type only. PF TS step and advise please.

can you attach your smsts.log so i can see what it is doing ?

[Ranjithckm7]

It's exactly similar to below. I'll get you the log by a retry now.
Failed to make volume C:\ bootable. Code 0x80004001

[anyweb]

yes, but i want to see what steps it is taking before the error, can you attach the log ?

[Ranjithckm7]

Sorry it took some time. messed up with dp.  But here's the most recent smsts.

Hi @anyweb, Any luck with it? I'm going to try this in a new HDD instead of earlier one. I don't know why it's not working because i haven't modified any step in this TS. It is like created through native one without MDT.
