Ghosting Win7 64bit client on 2008r2 HyperV host - Unattended.xml error

I need a solution

Ghost version is 11.5.1.2266.

I'm trying to Ghost a freshly installed Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit client that is running on a Win 2008 R2 Hyper-V host.   I installed the Ghost client through the Remote Client Install.   I made the necessary changes to allow the C$ share to be written to by the client install process.   Firewall is disabled.  Client reports successful install.

I'm using the WinPE pre-OS option.   When I attempt to image the Windows 7 machine, the task starts and I see the notification on the client machine that a task is in process.   The client machine never reboots and fails on the "To Virtual Partition" step.   With the error of: "Failed to update unattended.xml file".

I've tried deleting the INCOMING\WinPE folder.  I've tried using WinPE-512.  Same result.

I browsed the forum and read that error is typically related to the NIC or Disk Controller driver.   Since the client is running on a hyper-V host, the NIC driver on the Win7 client is reported as "Microsoft Virtual Machine Bus Network Adapter #2".   I'm not sure which driver I would need.

As a test, I tried using the PCDOS option and the client does reboot, but does not find a network driver, which is expected.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
