Hi guys, me again :)
I received this week a new HP Z420 Workstation and it comes by default with the SATA controller set to RAID+AHCI.
first test, PXE booted to my MDT server and after entering credentials and getting to the task sequence menu and choosing one and clicking next, it complains that it cannot find the right drive to install to. Dropping to a command prompt and running diskpart>list disk shows no fixed disks.
I grabbed the storage drivers from HP's website (they actually have an advisory page showing which SoftPaqs to download, two LSI drivers and a TI USB3 driver) and then created a folder within my out of box drivers container for it, further broken down by Make & Model, and then a subfolder called Storage. Imported those drivers, made sure that all mass storage drivers was checked in Deployment Share properties (in addition to all NIC drivers) [at one point I even changed the selection profile to everything] and then updated the deployment share. I confirmed that the LSI and TI drivers were injected into the wim. Replaced the wim in WDS and tried again. Still nothing.
I COULD just change the bios settings to IDE and then it works fine, but I wonder if I'm not developing some OCD tendencies as I get older... :)

I made use of the HP Support that I paid for and they tracked it down to a different driver, other than the ones listed in their advisory document. Once I added that driver to the Out-of-box hierarchy and rebuilt the boot image it worked fine...
except that in my experimentation I switched install media and then they wouldn't activate once they were deployed, so I'm back to creating a new, updated image to use. :) |

| And what were these "other" drivers? I am having the same issues trying to get this z420 to reboot after XP image loads. I know I am missing the mass storage but not sure which one. The C600 Series Chipset SATA AHCI Controller was the one I initially tried. |

The Intel C602 SATA AHCI was the one I was missing.
I had unpacked the softpaq to a temp folder, and then pointed the Add Driver wizard at it, and it added some-but not all-of the drivers in the folder. Going back and selecting each x64 subfolder in turn added 3 more drivers.
The other ones were LSI RAID drivers that were listed in the HP advisory.

unfortunately it only discusses Win7, not XP.
