Could be a number of thigs. But I would check if the boot image drivers are correct. That you use only Win7 32bit network/Storage drivers to the X86 boot image and 64bit to X64.Nicolai

What exactly (screenshot) does your task sequence look like? Is this bootable media or stand-alone media?Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

are you sure that's the error and that there wasn't an earlier error in the task sequence ? can you post the entire smsts.log file somewhere where we can download/view it Step by Step ConfigMgr 2007 Guides | Step by Step ConfigMgr 2012 Guides | I'm on Twitter > ncbrady
