We had this same issue, if I remember right it was something to do with how the 
disk was being labeled but I can’t remember for sure.

I just checked my boot image and I don’t have any storage drivers for the 
surface in it.  I am running the surface Pro3 256 and 512.

Thanks

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Surface Pro 3 disk goes AWOL during partition job

Hello everyone,
I have a task sequence that handles both BIOS and UEFI imaging over PXE, and 
was excited when even the newer Lenovo Helix machines (strictly UEFI, can’t 
switch to legacy) were able to image with no problems. Now I’m doing some 
testing with a Surface Pro 3 and am encountering a very odd issue. The job 
during the task sequence that partitions the disk into a small EFI, small MSR, 
and large GPT partition (again, works on other UEFI devices so I know the job 
works) fails every time. Going into diskpart and listing disks, none are 
listed. Going into diskpart after a reboot, but before firing the task sequence 
off, shows the disk and partitions but keeps disappearing right after the 
partitioning job error (makes sense if it can’t find the disk to partition).
Anyone else out there experiencing this or know what I can do to fix it? 
Possibly a mass storage driver I need to put into the boot image?
Thanks,
Richard Poole
