I have since deleted the VMware drivers and I am regenerating the boot disks to fix the issue. Do you have a separate deployment share for your VMs or do you generate different selection profiles for the different hardware types. Hyper-V VMs do not require additional drivers, just simply make sure you are using a "Legacy Network Adapter" opposed to the default "Network Adapter".
For VMWare, you need to edit the. See my blog entry listed below on how to perform the change. You have the additional option of automatically adding video and system device drivers from the deployment share to the Windows PE boot images. You can also perform additional customizations of your Windows PE images. For example, you can customize the background bitmap, add additional directories, and increase the scratch space size from its default value of 32 megabytes MB up to a maximum of MB if needed.
Updating a deployment share causes Deployment Workbench to update its configuration files, source files, and Windows PE images. Deployment Workbench updates the deployment share's files and generates the Windows PE boot images when you update the deployment share, not when you create it.
After you have updated the deployment share and generated Windows PE images, you can add the. If you want, you can burn the Windows PE. Updating the boot images is faster than burning media, and booting destination computers is quicker. I tried deployment shares on a Pro 32bit machine with this problem and built a new deployment share from the scratch on Server , same issue. Since 64bit capture works and 32bit only on physical machines, I think ESXi is the problem.
Even pretending it's 64bit upon vm creation doesn't fix it. The progress bar makes it all the way across the screen, and then that's where it stops.
This is with an x86 version of WinPE 4. I tried the lastest version of VMWare Workstation version 9 and had the same result while using a Windows 8 or Windows 8 x64 virtual hardware selection. Update: Just finished testing a few more scenarios. I have a very similar problem.
I have tried everything and finally I just put back my WinPe 3. Is there a fix that doesn't involve hacking in the reserved partition? Will it cause any problems to use WinPE 3. Will I have use the WinPE 3.
I never found anything besides updating the boot files in the system reserved boot partition to those of Windows 8 files. My guess is WinPE 3. From what I understand you only need WinPE 4. Image iam trying to capture are Windows 7 X86 but it just hangs on loading files i the boot progressbar. I came across a similar workaround by accident. I rebooted my otherwise hung VM and forced it to PXE boot into the LiteTouch Boot image, so I could get into a PE environment to copy the files suggested here, but as soon as it booted into that image the task sequence picked up where it left off as if it had booted into the PE environment it copied to the C: drive.
So cool there's one workaround, but I would still like to find a solution that doesn't involve manually kicking off the capture part of this process. I suppose one option would be to specify the Boot and OS partition sizes manually, making the Boot partition at least MB when deploying the reference image task sequence, then the sysprep and capture sequence wouldn't switch to the OS partition due to a lack of disk space.
I haven't tried this yet though, but I'll post back when I do. In the mean time, this seems like a pretty serious bug for MDT and should definitely be addressed in an update. It involved creating a new variable to use instead of sBootDrive. I set that new variable to be the left oEnv "SystemDrive" ,2.
I set the new variable to be the system drive and replaced occurrences of sBootDrive to the new variable. Not sure if that was needed. Hard for me to wade through the code I have hear, hope that at least helps in getting you started with the modifications.
I suggest 5. The issue I had was the ESXi 4. I shut down the hyper-v guest windows 7 machine being captured, then booted to PXE F12 , the capture resumed normally. How Annoying, but it works!

Sign in to vote. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Monday, December 10, PM. For me, the solution has been to replace the boot files on the system reserved partition since those are what are incompatible with the WinPE 4.
This means modifying LTIApply so that it replaces those files on the system reserved partition even though it is not large enough to hold the. The key though, is the incompatability of the Win7 boot files with the WinPE4. Marked as answer by jh Monday, February 18, PM. Monday, January 7, PM. What does the logs say? Tuesday, December 11, AM.

After the computer hangs at "Windows is loading files" I've reset and booted to a cd in order to poke around on the disk, and can't really anything helpful but the bdd logs which showed no concerning issues.
