Imaging Windows Server 2008

I am trying to take an image of a Windows Server 2008 system using rdeploy and having difficulties. I am ripping this from a system built in ESX (I am able to image VM Servers from Server 2003 x32 and x64) and keep running into a problem with the partition.
I get errors that the partition structure is invalid, and after digging further into the logs, it seems to think that the partition extends beyond the physical disk that is set up.
This obviously fails on all three pre-boot enviornments, but I tried them all just to be sure.
Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so, is there a workaround for it?

Me too !

Has there been any update for this problem ?  I have the exact same results as Travis.  I can easily capture win2003 images, but capture fails with Win2008.  Error is rdeploy:  the partition structure is invalid.  I'm trying to capture servers running within ESX 3.5.

I'm using the HP RDP 3.83 product (ie. Altiris 6.9).

I thought it was just me until I found this message thread.
