SYMPTOMS
When you run a utility such as the Diskpart command-line utility in the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), you cannot access a device with a logical unit number (LUN) that was assigned in the current Windows PE session. You experience this symptom even if you use Device Console (DevCon) to scan for any newly assigned LUNs.

Notes
 * This problem only occurs when you are running a version of Windows PE that was built by using Windows Server 2003 SP1.
 * This problem only occurs in the current Windows PE session. After you restart the computer, you can access a device with a newly assigned LUN.
 * This problem does not occur if you are using a &quot;dumb&quot; SCSI drive or an integrated drive electronics (IDE) drive.

The following symptoms occur even if you use an IDE drive:  The activity light flashes on storage devices. For example, the activity light flahses on the hard disk drive or on the CD or DVD drive.</li> If you eject the CD or DVD tray after you create the new LUN is created, you receive the following error message:

There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive X:.

</li></ul>

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, replace the Setupdd.sys file on the Windows PE startup disk with the version of Setupdd.sys that is included in this hotfix.

When you start the computer by using the updated Windows PE disk, you can run the Devcon rescan command to scan for any newly assigned LUNs. You can then run a utility such as the Diskpart command-line utility to configure any devices with newly assigned LUNs.
