I've also been getting the infamous OSD failure "Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005" and have read several forums to no avail such as this one, (Link)
The error occurs as soon as Win7 starts to install with the error "Unable to create a new system partition"
Here is what I've done:
Used USB 2.0 port
Made internal HD 1st in priority
Modified the TS to create the System reserved partition, make it bootable, and 1st partition
Verified my MDK was working by deploying XP on the same laptop and had no failures
Downloaded another copy of Win7 and used a fresh TS (No modifications)
I am able to see the network & my deployment server "\\karl-med\deploymentshare1"
I am able to see the hard drive via F8 as I can pull the logs off the C:. The logs are pretty much the same as what others have posted (i.e. LTIApply.log)
CustomSettings.ini

I am running my MDT 2012 on a XP PC. The lapop in question is a HP 8470 laptop with a solid state drive. I haven't seen anything specific for SSD drives and as I said before, I am seeing the drive via F8.
I am at a loss as to why this still fails. Any other ideas?
Thanks!
