Hi

I'm making my first Windows image with NTLite, but it doesn't go well.

What I want to accomplish
I want to create a Windows 11 image for a Lenovo ThinkCentre M70s.

What I've tried
  1. I took a Windows 11 Pro 24H2 ISO and loaded it in NTLite Pro.
  2. I downloaded the SCCM driver package from Lenovo for this type of PC and loaded the drivers in NTLite - I can see that NTLite imported all the drivers.
  3. I did some (small) customization to the image like adding a local user account.
  4. I 'applied' the changes: removed nonessential editions, standard WIM format, reapplied tasks 'integrate drivers' for Winre.wim and boot.wim and created the ISO.
The problem
When I burned the ISO to a USB key and boot the PC from it, the Windows installer starts and immediately throws the error 'Install driver to show hardware'.
I repeated the proces with Windows 11 23H2, but with the same failing result.

What am I doing wrong?
Tips? Ideas?

Thanks
 
Not sure you need SCCM, it's more for businesses I think
And not seen these drivers for the 24h2 (even if those for 22h2 / 23h2 should work)

You can test by disabling the VMD controller in the BIOS
Or also test by integrating the Intel RST drivers with NTLite into boot.wim (index 2) and install.wim

Assuming an unmodified Windows 11 (full Windows image) installs without problem

I mean: I downloaded and extracted the SCCM driver package from Lenovo for this system which contains all drivers: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/be/nl/...eheer&id=4A3CC709-438F-487D-8739-4104CE73D368

I tried an official Windows 11 ISO: same result.

I can 't find RST drivers for this system. Are these universal?


I'll try with disabling VMD.

Try with VDDM disabled
A driver is missing, if even with an official ISO it does not work
Lenovo's website should have RST drivers if needed, but I haven't seen them.
 
I can't find an option to disable VMD in the BIOS.
I also tried with secure boot disabled, but no difference.
 
Select Advanced > PCI Configuration > Volume Management Device option is not present ?
 
No, it 's not there. I've looked in all menu options, but nothing related to volume management.
 
Ok, it's for others ThinkCentre M70s models then
If you still have the Windows provided by Lenovo, install it and check in the device manager if the Intel RST are present for the controllers

Or look at other drivers
What I do every time before doing a clean install on an OEM laptop
