Imaging to a new SSD in older machine.


  • I'm having problems imaging to a newly installed SSD into an older Dell Optiplex 3050. I am able to get the imaging process started but it is VERY slow and it fails when it gets to 7%. The following is what I see in the applog on my server.

    WinPE Version:

    10.0.19041.0

    System Architecture:

    @{OSArchitecture=64-bit}

    EFI Enabled / Secure Boot Disabled

  • If this same image works fine in this computer but with a different hard drive, then I would try updating the Bios. I've seen issues where an older bios might not handle the hd correctly.


  • @theopenem_admin I updated the BIOS per your request. The same problem is happening. It gets to 5% very slowly and then fails with the following error.

  • This same model works with a different hd?


  • @theopenem_admin I figured it out. I had to rebuild my bootable ISO file with the new HD drivers added to the WinPE iso. Once I did this it worked fine. I have learned with each new piece of hardware we introduce into our network, I usually just go through these steps out of habit. 🙂
