Re-install OS on C drive with MDT deployment

want to reinstall the System driver without format disk partition. I add a TS to check if C:\Windows existed. If yes, Skip disk partition.

We have BitLocker enabled on the clients.

  1. Disable BitLocker and run the TS, I found below errors.

From the BDD.log it actually works as ruled (Found Windows directory and skip disk partition task sequence). but MDT deploy the OS failed with error code: 5456. If I clean the entire hard disk, everything goes well and I can install OS on the target disk

  1. Install OS with BitLocker enabled

    Since I don't have a chance to test. If I reinstall the OS on C drive with BitLocker enabled, does it make sense? Or I need to make other changes? Any suggestion are welcome.

Regards,
Bruce

Hi, @BruceZhang-5759
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Look inside the task sequence, under "Install Operating System". Did you set the location to apply this operation system as "Logical drive letter stored in a variable"? If so, try to change is to "Specific Disk and Partition" to see if the error disappear?

Hi,

Thanks for your kindly help. In our company, we have lots of laptops with dual hard disks. I am not sure all the OS is installed on Disk 0, partition 1, Maybe Disk 1 is the system drive.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

==>FAILURE ( 5456 ): Unable to determine Destination Disk, Partition, and /or Drive
May we know if the Disable BitLocker step was successful? Could we see the drivers after the step?

Best regards,
Simon
