I have a new model of laptop that I'm trying to deploy Windows 7 to. It's the HP EliteBook 8570w.
This laptop has two drives:
DISK 0 180GB mSATA SSD
DISK 1 500GB SATA HDD
I'm trying both Win7 x32 and x64. I have TS's for each, that work perfectly on all our other models.
Here is the strange part... By default my TS is set to format and partition disk number 0, and this is still what I want on this new model as the SSD is disk 0. It successfully completes the format and partition but fails at:

Now if I change the TS to format and partition disk 1, it works, and deploys windows,on the 500GB of course, which I don't want.
Please advise - Thanks for any help.
