BDD 2007 fails because of Windows PE 2.0 uberbug

[Johan Arwidmark]

Everyone deploying Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 with BDD 2007
(or just plain Windows PE 2.0) should read this, this bug sure caused
me some major pain during the last week…

Windows PE 2.0 has a new way of writing partitions to the disks
compared with Windows PE 2004/2005. Some BIOS (like HP D530, HP
DC5000, HP DC5100) is not compatible with this method. However, there
is a workaround...

After having several issues with diskpart commands and scripts I have
reverted to "format c: /fs:ntfs /q /y." Do you see a problem with this
workaround to diskpart for single partition disks? TIA.
