Issue/Introduction

Ghost error 40011 refers to the destination drive may be too small.

The ghost image is small in size yet the drive has plenty of disk storage to restore the image.

Environment

Release: 3.3

Cause

Ghost cannot detect the drive geometry thus throws error 40011.

Resolution

Wipe the drive with Diskpart: 

Add a script task before the imaging task to wipe the drive

echo SELECT DISK 0 >> x:\diskpart.txt
echo CLEAN >> x:\diskpart.txt
echo EXIT >> x:\diskpart.txt
Diskpart /s x:\diskpart.txt

NOTE: make sure the script task uses the same automation environment the imaging task uses
