Hello
I'm reaching out to ask for help because I don't understand what's happening.
Last year I made a USB key for 24H2 and everything went fine.
I'm currently making a USB key for 25H2 but I'm having strange behavior.
I manage to deploy my modified image with NTLite a first time without any problem, but when I deploy it a second time, I get the message below instead of the window to enter the computer name.

The computer name entry could not be found on the installation media. This boot image was prepared for different media; please recreate the installation media and copy the boot.wim file to it.

Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards
 
There's not enough details to investigate. What changes did you make to the image? Are you specifying <ComputerName> in an unattended file?

Please attach your preset (after removing any user account passwords or license keys).
 
Noted.
I'll grab the files as soon as I can.
What I noticed is that after deploying once,
the autounattend.xml file gets modified.
<computername> is no longer prompt, but instead contains the previously defined computer name.
 
Are you using NTLite's unattended feature to ask for a computer name? That creates a hidden run-time task to modify the unattended file on the USB, so the host name is used in later install passes.

I don't believe it resets itself if you re-use the same USB drive twice in a row. Open "\autounattend.xml" on the USB, and check if your hostname has replaced the %PROMPT% placeholder.
