Thinkpad T61 Error - iastor.sys

desp59

I am having a problem using BDD2007 with Vista on Thinkpad T61s. After the
image is applied and the laptop reboots, I get Windows failed to start.
File: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\iastor.sys Status: 0xc000035a Info: Windows
failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, or corrupt.

I created the image with a fresh vista install, then used imagex to capture
the image and imported it into BDD. iastor.sys is the SATA driver, but I
thought Vista did not need SATA drivers? I have tried everything I can think
of... Does anyone have any idea what could be causing tihs?

It looks like a driver is needed. Lenovo has an updated driver available
here:

Thanks for replying. I actually just figured this out a little while ago.
It looks like the Lenovo driver does not work for this... I had to put the
latest Intel driver in. Not sure why, but it seems to have worked.
