We had a similar situation with some Dell M3800s. M2 drive showed up as drive
one.
Ultimately what we did was created custom TS steps triggered if it was that
particular model and the machine had 2 drives. We used a WMI query to
determine the number of drives
If all of these are true use alternate format and partition steps against DISK
1 instead of 0
SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive WHERE MediaType = "Fixed hard disk media" and
Index = 0
SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive WHERE MediaType = "Fixed hard disk media" and
Index = 1
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model = " HP EliteDesk 800 G3 "
*you would need to verify this in WMI
You would need to do something similar to keep the standard format from
occurring and formatting disk 0 first if you don't want that to occur. Or if
you don't care about disk 0 being formatted, you could just run this step
after. As long as you are still setting the same variable (typically OSDisk)
on where the Apply Operating System Image step is going to apply the WIM to
everything else should work fine.
Good Luck,

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Image second drive
We have several HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Towers that we are trying to image. It
comes with two hard drives in the computer. Looking at them using diskpart, we
want to image disk 1 because it is a 200 GB M.2 drive. We have tried using
several methods to image that drive but they have all failed. We have manually
run diskpart to clean the disk 0 but OSD still seems to want to use disk 0. In
the SCCM task sequence we have added task "Format and Partition Disk" for disk
1 and set it as the boot disk but then the drive letter is D. The only way
that we've found so far is to disconnect the power to disk 0 while imaging then
connect it again afterward.
Ultimately we want to image disk 1 and install the OS on it with the drive
being drive letter C, how do we do that?
