Won't boot into Task Sequence menu

[hnguyen]

Hello,

 

I can't seem to boot into the task sequence menu and was wondering if anyone could help me try to resolve it. Its weird cause I can do it on older machines but not the new dells we recently got. I've tried every network driver I could think of including windows 8 ones. I'm currently testing on a Dell Latitude E6540 with no luck so far.

Have you tried to recreate the boot media you are using? Seems like the issue is that the TsmBootstrap.exe cannot find whatever its looking for on the D:\ drive.

 

 

Data path "D:\" not found. Please ensure you are running from a propery configured task sequence. (typo is in the log, lol)

I have tried recreating it many times. Why does it have to pick D: for these specific laptops? Is there anyway I can change that?

[teamfox201]

It uses the next available drive letter. So if C = Internal HDD then D = CD/DVD rom, and so on.

 

In WinPE all partitions will have a drive letter assigned.

 

 

If you are using a CD/DVD to boot, try a USB stick.

 

If you have command support enabled on the boot media, press F8 as soon as you can after PE loads and the cmd prompt will appear.

 

Then do a diskpart on the hard drive.

 

· DISKPART

· Select Disk 0 (0 should be internal HDD)

· Clean

· Create Partition Primary

· Select Partition 1

· active

· format fs=ntfs quick

· assign

 

Then try the image again. This is not an indication of the network drivers missing, if anything it could be the storage drivers.

 

Have you tried importing all the Dell WinPE drivers? http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/2065.dell-driver-cab-files-for-enterprise-client-os-deployment.aspx

 

If you are using System Center 2012 pre R2, use WinPE 4.0 drivers. If you are using System Center 2012 R2 then use the WinPE 5.0 drivers.

 

I just finished working on the Dell E6x40 series and didn’t have any issues, we ended up going with the E7x40 (ultrabooks) J

Thanks for answering this post. I have been swapped with other things and have no gotten a chance to respond to it til now. I have tried using a CD and USB stick with no avail. I have reformated the drive and still getting the same error. I have also added those Win PE 4.0 drivers to the boot image and recreated the boot media. Still no luck. I've attached new logs from what I did above. It seems to not be able to find the network adapter again....

Anyone have any info on this? Found this on the internet but I've tried a bunch of different drivers with no luck.

Could it be that your test unit is bad?

 

Have you tried to install Windows 7 from the DVD / ISO to see if everything works when done?

FWIW I got the exact same error "<drive path> not found. Please ensure you are running from a propery configured task sequence".  Even the word "propery" was the same mispelling.

What I did was manually create the <drive path> in the drive I was booting to, in my case it was in the Prestage Media wim file. 

I created the <drive path> which was C:\_SMSTaskSequence and the prestage media was able to finish booting and completed the rest of my OSD without issue.  I'm not sure why this problem happened but it could be a workaround.
