WinPE, SATA and Panasonic
Updated: 06 Jul 2010 | 6 comments
I'm having a huge problem trying to image a new Panasonic Toughbook T7. It boots into WinPE fine but I cant find the SATA HD. It boots with Dos and images but it takes an hour. I have downloaded the newest SATA driver from Intel. Called Altiris and they didn't know why it wasn't working.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Under the BIOS are you able
Under the BIOS are you able to set the SATA Hard Drive controller to Compatibility or IDE? Remove it from ACHI or SATA control. This will allow Windows XP, and ghost boot disks to see the HDD
Not with Panasonic
That works great with our HP's, Fujujitsu's and Motions but not Panasonic.
I should have put that in the first post. Panasonic doesn't provide that option. I had to ask their tech support because I couldn't find it in the BIOS.
Found a way to make it work.
Found a way to make it work. We changed the WinPE boot model to "Boot Windows PE using the 'factory -winpe' model" Step #7. Worked like a charm.
HUH>?
Where in DS is this setting? Step #7? We have a couple of Toughbooks coming in and would greatly appreaced a tiny more info on what you did to fix your issue. Thanks in advance.

editing your boot image
If you go into PXE Configuration Utility, choose your boot option you want to edit, click on "edit" and then "edit Boot Image," This will open Altiris Book Disk Creator step 9 of 12. If you click "back" it will walk you through the steps until you get to step 7 and that is were you make the change then just continue through. If you have not added the mass storage device driver you will need to do that in step 2.
Hope that helps.
Thanks that worked!
