Vista install on E6520 does not load drivers.
While attempting to image a new Dell E6520 using MDT, I was able to boot into MDT and choose an image, the image will load and Windows Vista will go through set-up and configure itself and restart. After this restart, the process fails because no drivers are loaded and it can not connect to the deployment share. I have imported all of the system drivers into MDT and during the task sequence it appears to inject the drivers. They just aren't there after Windows starts. The problem only affects the E6520 and not our other Dell systems. While researching the problem, I came across a link that suggested it had something to do with the Advanced Format Hard Drive. I'm having a difficult time understanding how an AFF HDD will stop drivers from being loaded though, so I'm not positive this is the issue. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions as to what my issue with this computer is? Thank you for your help.

That driver is in the drivers repository and I can load the exact same driver and it works fine and resumes the task sequence. The same driver is also in th eboot WIM file and works in WIN PE. The drivers I am using are from the Dell .CAB file. I have tried downloading the drivers from Dell, downloading the specific CAB file, and downloading the All Laptops Cab file. I get the same results. I've also made a specific driver folder for just this computer. That didn't help either. I've rebuilt the .wim file twice. Is there anything else I could try?
