I'm glad I'm not they only one too. Unfortunately I knew we are getting more so now I definitely need to find a better solution so the guys doing the actual deployments don't have problems.
I was already playing with a script to do diskpart /s and a txt file being built on the fly to do something else so I am hoping I can just modify that to do what I want. If I get it to work I'll let you know and send it over.

Like you, I will probably just copy and modify my task sequence to get it out the door. Still, I'm just wondering what happened to disk 0 and disk 1.

One of them had the physical drive as index 0, which is what you would expect, and the other was index 2. The one with index 2 would always fail the partition steps until I adjusted them to point to disk index 2 but with my time constraints I wasn't able to find a way to variableize the disk the partition steps are trying to format. So to get the device out the door I just copied the task sequence then changed the steps to point to disk 2 then used that task sequence to image the machine. Does anyone have a way to turn the disk index the partitioning steps point to into a variable? It could probably be done with a powershell script run in place of the built in steps.

When I boot to WinPE open a command prompt and run DISKPART then List Disk it does not show a disk 0 or disk 1. The internal drive shows as disk 3 and the USB drive I booted from shows as Disk 2. Likewise, if I PXE boot then the internal drive shows as disk 2 and again disk 0 and disk 1 do not show. When I attempt to select disk 0 or 1 it tells me they do not exist. I can see the internal drive so I'm confident the storage drivers are there. Since by default we autodeploy to disk 0 this causes issues with our default task sequence. I know I can change this and make a one off, but I'd rather figure out what's up with this Surface Pro 5 and will they all ship this way. I was able to boot from a Windows 10 ISO and image it, I then downloaded the latest drivers and firmware then updated that....same issue. Disk management in the Windows 10 install that's on there now lists the os drive as Disk 2. Any idea's how I can get disk 0 to show up?
