Hi everyone,
we are purchasing a series of laptops for the company.
How can I load the standard image (with all the software necessary for my company) that I created via sysprep for corporate desktops, given that when booting from bios via usb (we use acronis and macrium) the hard disks of the laptops are secure boot locked and not detected?
Thanks

@LUIGI_BALDI -- we are purchasing a series of laptops for the company -- the hard disks of the laptops are secure boot locked and not detected?

 

What model of HP computers are you purchasing? 

Note that "Secure Boot" is a feature of the BIOS, and should not be disabled.

 

What do you mean by "locked" ?  Power-on password required? Disk-drive password required?

Hi,

is a 250 g8 laptop.

By "the disk is locked" I mean that the computer starts normally and works, but if I try to boot from a bootable uefi key (macrium) I don't find any disk, so I can't load my standard image

Hello Luigi

 

probably Macrium doesn't have the driver for the disk included into your 250 G8 laptops.

 

I never used Macrium, I always use Miscosoft dism to capture the partion.

It's free and I can easily add driver in WinPE.

you need some more steps to capture and reimage on new notebook, as dism capture the partition content, not the disk layout, but once you understand how it works, you may script it.

 

May be you need an updated version of Macrium software ?

 

bye

Thanks!
I downloaded the disk drivers from the Hp site and plugged it into macrium and now it works regularly.
