Hi,

This is known issue with ramdisk that mount itself on C: and hides
underlying HDD.

1. Before shutting down your device for last time (before creating SDI file)
delete all registry values from HKLM\System\MountedDevices
2. Also it was suggested to delete SystemPartition key from
HKLM\System\Setup.

Does this help?

Regards,
Slobodan
