Hi there,
I am at the momento trying to deploy Windows XP by capturing an OS image from a reference computer. At this stage all I have done is ditributed the boot image to the distribution point, and then I started the Create Task Sequence Media wizard to try to burn a cd to capture the image from the reference system.
However, I am seeing the following error upon completing the wizard:
"Error creating media. Error message is: The directory is not a subdirectory of the root directory."
I have so far tried to save this iso image on C:, in a subfolder on C, on each other partition on the site server and in a shared folder on the site server, all of which produced that same error message.
Here is an excerpt from the CreateTsMedia.log:

What is the most popular way to capture an image from a reference system, and what is the easiest way? On the one previous occasion I used this approach I was able to perform this step in exactly the same way without problems, but later ran into permission issues on the client.
Thanks a lot.
