  • 1.  machine not restarting after sysprep runs? help

    Posted Jul 12, 2010 12:23 PM
    Hi 

    I have only just noticed that sysprep is broken, that was broken since Feb '10... 
    well sysprep isn't broken, it's just there is something wrong in the sysprep.inf file that I can't pin point what.. 
    it's a problem within the [SysprepMassStorage] section 

    so I hope someone can explain what's going on... 

    here is the currently working sysprep.inf file

    Now, if I for example add 
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DF=%systemdrive%\drivers\ich7ide.inf
    to the end of the massstorage pci list... 
    sysprep runs then doesn't restart the computer, meaning theres something wrong, (which i only just found that there was something wrong due to no error warnings of any kind

    but I noticed that mini-setup doesnt run after re-imaging machine as well, and the sysprep directory was still there, not being deleted after re0-imaging process, which I manual deleted due to password and product key listed...

    I really can't give anymore information, I am seriously confused. :( 

    if there something wrong with the line or in the current working sysprep.inf file? 

    what more information do you require? 
    but I know this isn't a ghost product, but micronuts but I might as well ask here as well :) 

    Thanks
    Peter

    When you say "for example if I add...", are you in fact saying that ANY addition to the mass storage section is causing Sysprep to go wrong?
    Have you checked to see whether any existing INF files in your build may already contain the same PNP ID ?
    Are the drivers definitely the right ones for the hardware?
    If sysprep is not rebooting then something is hanging so in your position I would be pulling up the sysprep manual and checking all the processes to make sure nothing has been missed, and then googling for any articles on Sysprep diagnostics.

    --- questions
    Which command line are you using when running the SYSPREP ?
    Which SYSPREP version ?
    --- suggest
    Recreate a standard SYSPREP file (for testing) & run again, what's going on ?

    EdT: 
    Yeah, If i add any more lines to the end, sysprep does not run... 


    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106=%systemdrive%\drivers\iaahci.inf
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104=%systemdrive%\drivers\iastor.inf
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DF=%systemdrive%\drivers\ich7ide.inf

    just like that, it doesn't work, and those files are located in that directory when the files are transferred to the local machine I am re-imaging. 
    I even tried with quotations, and without, and commenting out but  Sysprep diagnostics would be nice to have... but is there any???? 

    Pascal.KOTTE: 
    I am running the "image create task" task in Ghost Console, so I am not sure what the command line is for system, and using the version 5.1.2600.2180 

    Well, I have created a sysprep from scratch, and inserted lines and ran the image task, and works well, and then started putting in mass storage lines, and works fine until I insert "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DF=%systemdrive%\drivers\ich7ide.inf" and any other lines I want to put in... :( 

    So I am not sure what's going on, 
    drivers are located in c:\sysprep\i386\$oem$\$1\drivers" which becomes "c:\drivers\"

    Confused but thanks if any more information posted
