To support remote computers we would like to use USB keys to distribute the task sequence. When I run through the create stand alone media wizard for USB it gets to the point where it will format and fails. The error in the CreateTSMedia.log is:
Format failed (0x8004242D) CreateTsMedia 12/9/2010 5:33:39 PM 1528 (0x05F8)
Error formatting volume K:\ (0x8004242d) CreateTsMedia 12/9/2010 5:33:39 PM 1528 (0x05F8)
Failed to create media (0x8004242d) CreateTsMedia 12/9/2010 5:33:39 PM 1528 (0x05F8)
I am running Windows 7 x64 with SCCM 2007 R2 SP2. The USB device is 64 GB in size, I've tried formatting it as NTFS and exFAT with the same results. The help file indicates with Vista that the disk must be formatted prior to use, but does not indicate how it should be formatted, I assume the same is true for Windows 7.
Any thoughts?
