I can't create an NVMe disk image after SYSPREP

Thread needs solution

I can't create an NVMe disk image after SYSPREP. There were no problems with SATA disks, before or after SYSPREP, the disk image was created and deployed successfully. Namely, with the NVMe disk, I encountered difficulties when creating a disk image after the SYSPREP command in Windows. First of all, the program shows some unrealistic size of the TIB image file (the sector-by-sector image creation mode was not selected). Secondly, the disk image is made for a very, very long time. If creating a SATA disk image took 5-10 minutes, then creating an NVMe disk image could take about an hour. But after creating the image, I could not deploy it due to an error. I did the check on different HP computers. A similar problem occurs on all versions of Acronis 17-21. Help with this problem. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? PS. The attempt to create an NVMe disk image before the SYSPREP command was successful.

Welcome to these public User Forums.

See Microsoft webpage: Capture and apply Windows Full Flash Update (FFU) images - which speaks about using SysPrep and deploying disk images using this format.

If there is an issue in ATI 2021 with imaging a SysPrep'd NVMe drive then you would need to open a support ticket direct with Acronis Support to have them investigate why this is happening?

Your issue is most likely that SysPrep removes driver support for NVMe disks which must be present to make things work.  Once SysPrep is run on the image use DSIM to install the NVMe drivers, that should solve the issue for you.
