"Setup unable to format partition..."

[Space_Boy]

I created a riprep image of a Dell GX745 with the standard hardware (Broadcom NIC, Intel Chipset, etc). I included the broadcom drivers in the $oem folder as directed. I am receiving the error message below on all riprep images and not on the the Flat Windows XP images.

The error message I receive occurs after my Riprep image tries to do the quick format:

"Setup was unable to format the parition. The disk may be

damaged."

I hit ESC as directed and the I get a permission error that states:

"Setup cannot set permissions for \device\harddisk0\partition2."

I looked at the event log and I get a BINLSVC EVENT ID 1101. But this indicates that setup has problems parsing the netclass.inf file. I have had NO luck finding a solution to this problem, let alone anything that can point me in the right direction. "I"m more lost than Jack, Kate and Hurley!!"

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (except "find a new imaging product")
