3115m Slow Imaging

[mplichta]

We have tried both Ghost and Rdeploy to imaging our 3115m but they take 4 times as long. Our image usually installs in less than 30 minutes but these machines takes about 2 hours.  Task manager says the processor is not taxed so we installed an SSD in the laptop.  Even with the SSD, it still takes 1.5 hours.  I cannot fathom what part of these machines is causing the bottleneck, but I can only assume it's the bus or the SATA controller.  Since there are no drivers on HP's site for the SATA controller, I'm at a loss. 

We image from WinPE 3 (7 based) and Winpe 2 (Vista based).

I'd like to point out that after imaging we then inject drivers using DISM.exe.  This process also takes 4 times as long making the total imaging time just under 4 hours.

Hi 

I have been having issues with winpe 2.0 trying to get the proper realtek lan driver to work. I have download different vista 32 bit drivers but can not get it to connect properly to the ghost session. I am using GSS 2.5.

What drivers were you using?

I was wondering what driver you used to reimage with ghost, we have downloaded drivers for win pe and pc dos and none are working
