We purchased an HP Compaq desktop which has Windows 7 and recovery partition buit in. We tried to deploy a Windows XP image on the same model but it fails every time after the completion of deploy image task.

In the Deployanywhere.txt logs we found critical drivers were missing, but all the necessary drivers were present in the Driverdsb.

Next we tried to install the operating system through our Volume License CD Key, but after verifying all Windows files it gives a blue dump. After that we found it is related to some Hard Disk setting in BIOS.

It is not a drivers problem.

We changed the BIOS SATA Emulation setting from AHCI to IDE mode and my image deployment problem on HP Compaq 6200 desktop with Windows 7 and recovery partition built in is quickly resolved.

On it I selected two tasks:
1. Deploy Image (Deployanywhere option should be ticked)
2. Reboot to production
