How to capture/deploy a Windows 7 image with 3 partitions
I'm trying to replicate our current Windows 7 64 bit image up to our K2000 (version 4).
Our Windows 7 image has 3 partitions (SystemReserve, Thawspace, LocalDisk) and therefore 3 .wim files associated with it.
We currently image our Windows 7 using WinPE USB key with the sysprepped image on the key.
I've deployed the sysprepped image to a virtual machine, booted to the K2000 KBE and captured the image, specifying all 3 partitions.
In the K2000, I've added a pre-install task to create and format the partitions ... SystemReserve 100MB, Thawspace 10GB, Localdisk gets the remainder of the disk.
When I deploy the image from the K2000, the contents of the wim files are installed to the wrong partitions. The contents that are supposed to be in Thawspace are in SystemReserve, the contents that are supposed to be in LocalDisk are in Thawspace.
Obviously the deploy fails.
Help?
