K2000 doesn't see extra vhd drive deploying wim
Answers (1)
Deploy Image to VM with K2000 with Secondary SCSI VHDX
Create New Disk on VM 30 – 40 GB to “as needed”, DynamicDisk.
Maybelarger if needed.
Attach Temp Disk to VM - 80 GB SCSI (allows for temp wimfile created before moving to K2000)
SCSIVHDX drives can be added and removed while VM is running, including in PE environment.
DVD Drive Connected.
There should be 2 Partitions C:, D:
Pre-Install Task should be:
VM –Create 2 Partitions, Fix DVD, Fix Temp VHDX
Windows7 & 8 Format 2 Partitions
Install Vista / 2008 / 7 / 8 / 2012 MBR
Mid-Level Task should be:
Script –Remove DPInst Reboot
Boot to PE.
Select Deploy.
Select Image.
Select Restart.
When deploy is complete, verify and remove SCSIVHDX drive.Capture Image of VM with Kace with SCSI VHDX
Create New Disk on VM 30 – 40 GB to “as needed”, DynamicDisk.
Maybelarger if needed.
Attach Temp Disk to VM - 80 GB SCSI (allows for temp wimfile created before moving to K2000)
SCSI VHDX drives can be added and removed while VM isrunning, including in PE environment.
DVD Drive Connected.
Boot to PE.
Select Capture.
Name Image with date.
Select WindowsImaging Format (NOT Kimage)
If you don’t have three volumes shown as below, J: Temp is probablynot formatted or initialized yet and you will need to use diskpart to set it upand reboot into PE.
Or manually set up partitions as needed to look like belowimage.
This is how Diskpart will see the drives initially:
Diskpart cmd
Select disk 1 (should be 80 GB)
clean
Create partition primary
Format fs=ntfs label=”Temp” quick
Assign letter=j
Select vol 0
Assign letter=z
Select vol 2
Assign letter d:
List vol (to check that the 80 GB partition shows up)
Exit
Now we are ready to capture. The letters will be reordered by kace, but our ultimate goal is to capturethe OS / Windows partition as D: and System partition as C: This will work forVMs deployments.
When capture is complete, remove SCSI VHDXdrive.

I have also had to create Mid-Level task to run bcdboot d:\windows /s c: and modify diskpart preinstall task to accommodate the hdd config of the vm's and whether they were captured from c, d, e etc no biggie.
Much to learn here lol, thank you for responding. - wessdf 9 years ago
