We have many Precision laptops and use WinPE and Ghost booted from an eSATA drive to image them before a testing task.
The issue is that the new M6800 laptops hang at the Intel OROM screen if an eSATA drive is present and therefore we can't use our normal process to image these laptops.
Is booting from the eSATA port on the M6800 supported?
Is this a known problem? and are there any work arounds?
The BIOS is at version A13 and wWe have the latest updates/drivers install in WinPE although Windows isn't relelvant at this stage of the boot.
Booting from a Flash drive wirks as expected.
