SYMPTOMS
When you try to deploy an image of a dynamic disk by using Microsoft Automated Deployment Services (ADS) 1.0 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer, the task may fail, and you may receive the following message:

Job #.........:

Description...: Capture Volume

Status........: Failed

Destination...:

Parameters....:

Exit Code.....: c1001005

CAUSE
This issue occurs if you convert the disk type to dynamic disk before you capture the image.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, make sure that the disk is a basic disk type before you deploy the image. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
 * 2) Under Storage, click Disk Management.
 * 3) In the right pane, make sure that the disk type is Basic.



MORE INFORMATION
The Imgbmdeploy.exe tool supports only images that are based on a basic disk and are not based on a dynamic disk.
