David, I've had this issue before with a 3020 and using drivers from Dell. The cab I had loaded had a bad driver. What you might try doing is having loaded only the NIC drivers loaded in your profile and then firing off a test machine. If it boots into Windows and proceeds, then that would lend me to believe that there is an issue with the chipset drivers or something similar causing it not to be able to boot into the OS.

I can install the OS manually directly from DVD (native, unmodified Volume License version downloaded directly from Microsoft) and then install all of the hardware drivers; I actually have done that and then copied the resulting drivers from the DriverStore\FileRepository and put those in the MDT Out-of-Box Drivers (after first deleting the Dell CAB drivers) but that did not help.

The above link solved it for me. I know you stated you had a 3040, but it might be a similar issue or lead you down a similar path. Hope this helps.

Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 1:51 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [MDT-OSD] Dell Optiplex 3040 I am struggling with getting Windows 7 deployed to the Dell Optiplex 3040 using MDT 2013 Update 2. After the OS is applied and the system reboots, it fails booting to Windows. I am using driver selection profiles to inject model-specific drivers, and I imported all of the drivers from the Dell TechCenter CAB for the 3040 / W7x86. I also manually extracted and imported the Intel Rapid Storage F6 drivers. I have added the 2 hotfixes (KB2990941 and KB3087873) that Microsoft lists as needed for deploying Win7 to Skylake / NVMe storage to the Packages group. Any ideas as to what I am missing?
