Hey there,
I recently set up a Deployment Server for imaging PCs and I've run into an issue I cannot surpass.
I have tested the deployment on multiple models of PCs (Dell Optiplex 760/HP Compaq 5850/ etc...) these have been successful thus far, however I cannot seem to produce a working image for the Dell Optiplex 740 series.
As I understand, these use the Nvidia MediaSheild mass storage drivers.. to which I have tried multiple different times with multiple different CAB packages.
I have my hierarchy set up as follows:
Out-of-Box Drivers>
Windows 7 x86>
Dell Inc.>
Optiplex 740
Optiplex 760
Dell Inc>
Optiplex 740 Enhanced
It seems that the 740 Optiplex Enhanced has "Dell Inc" as opposed to "Dell Inc." so I have attempted to create the proper make/model for the drivers to be loaded.
I have tried the uPnP method, as well as choosing only the Win PE drivers to be injected, however both of these methods seem to fail.
The message received upon attempting to load is as follows:
#############################################

##Possible Cause: Missing Storage Driver.

Is this something that will be solved by simply finding the correct driver files, or is there a trick to getting certain things like this to work?
