My success rate has been, well, I didn't count but things got worse when SATA replaced IDE in mass-market systems. In my experience, every SATA controller is a weird disk controller. Some are weirder than others but they're all weird, to the point where I gave up trying to do image-based deployments to non-uniform workstations. It's less effort to do a clean install from USB than it is to coerce an image to work on a given piece of hardware. -- Rich P.
