I haven’t seen the disappearing disk 0 issue on a surface pro 3. Note that this is not a MDT or SCCM issue, since winpe loses the disk, there is nothing to do. My best guess is that this is a storage driver issue, a WinPE issue or some faulty firmware. If you see the issue again, can you grab the uEFI version firmware version, and the WinPE ‘revision’ number? I can follow up internally.
Additionally, check out the surface bare metal recovery bits, they contain a WinPE boot wim built by surface.

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
