I have successfully deployed a couple images using a USB drive, but now I've run into a problem that seems to be related to the drive letter assigned to the USB drive when the target computer is booted.
The USB drive is being assigned drive letter C instead of E, F, or whatever. When I choose the image to use from the USB drive, the path is C:\z\ImageName.wim. When SmartDeploy tries to proceed, it displays this message: "Unable to deploy to the volume containing the image." I assume this is because it is trying to write to drive C because that should be the local hard drive, but it is actually the SmartDeploy USB drive. It looks like the local hard drive is being assigned drive letter D.
I looked around in the bios to see if I can control the drive letters, but I didn't see anything. This has happened on an HP machine and a Dell machine, so it seems to be something with SmartDeploy or my USB drive.
It is probably coincidental, but this started right after I upgraded SmartDeploy from eval to a full license.
