Here again your favorite Random Dude in ITNinja,

Welcome to 2023, hope this year brings interesting new challenges and success to everyone. Talking about challenges, I had a pretty good one while deploying Windows 10 21h2 on a batch of Lenovo ThinkBook 15 g2 ITL.

The picture, my SDA running 9.0, drivers captured from a third device, pretty simple image, only C: captured, basic DISK partitioning tasks. Every single best practice is checked. When deploying my system image everything would appeared to be going just as expected, but when the first reboot happened I was welcomed with this amazing BSOD.

INACCESSIBLE BOOT_DEVICE

I was amazed and went again and checked all the best practices even redoing the entire image. Then after reading a lot I thought that it might be just like in the Dell devices with the SATA Operation. After some digging, I found this forum post.

After that, I went to the BIOS and disabled the "Intel VMD Controller". After that deployments happened just as expected.
