So I tried this from a different angle.

I built an image on the oldest PC I had, installed no 3rd party/OEM drivers and sysprepped it with:

sysprep -pnp -quiet -reboot -clean
code:
 
;SetupMgrTag

[Unattended]
    OemPreinstall = Yes 
    ExtendOemPartition=1
    KeepPageFile=1

now when I try it on the new Evo and Latitude, both BSOD on inaccessable boot device.

The Evo uses the 'standard 2 channel IDE controller'

Help.... [Frown]
