VMware Guest Server 2008 BSOD STOP Error with MDT Deployment

Hi,
I am having a problem with my LiteTouch Deployment using MDT when Deploying Server 2008.  My install works fine on Physical hardware workstation but when deploying in VMware via litetouch ISO the deployment fails after installing the OS.  as soon as it starts to boot up after the apply it BSOD with a STOP Error.  If i deploy from  Server 2008 original DVD media i do not have this problem>?  I am thinking this is a Mass Storage Driver issue with the SCSI Driver but why would it work from original media and not my build?

Any help would be much appreciated as i am lost right now...

Hmm... What do I use for winpe? Or shouldvi just manually  inject into the wim?
if you remove the drivers from the DP, they will still be injected into PE (based on the PE options associated with the DP)
Yes i realize this... If they are not in the DP then WInPE wont recognize the HDD since its SCSI.  So i need to have those in the wim to format the drive and apply the image but if i leave them in the DP then they also get injected into the build during deployment so how would i stop this and only apply them to the PE Disk?  SHould i just manually inject them into the Litetouch ISO after the build completes?
ummm ok.
So go into the properties of your DP.
Go into the drivers tab, untick all the driver catagories
In the the WinPE tab, the option to inject mass-storage and network drivers will still be ticked (if it was before)
When PE is compiled, the drivers will still be injected, ut when the build occurs the DP will not have drivers to be installed available as part of the build.
i dont know how much simplier i can say it.

ok, it does fix the problem.. but good luck with that.
Look dude if it worked i wouldnt of kept looking for a solution...  i posted the solution to my problem for others to view so they dont have to go through the same problems i faced.  Maybe you should just be reviewing questions instead of answering them k... Great!!!
Change your SCSI adapter in Virtual Center to LSI & boot off the LSI.  After MDT lays down the image, change the adapter back to Bus Logic.  I'm trying to figure out how to get the bus logic drivers injected into the LiteTouch.ISO
