Finally figured it out! Phew!

Ok, I mainly had to alter the entries in the SysprepMassStorage. Originally
I had the following syntax:
PCI\VEN_0E11&DEV_B060&SUBSYS_40700E11 =
"C:\drivers\hpcpq\cpqcissm\cpqcissm.inf",\,"Smart Array 5x and 6x Driver
Diskette", "\cpqcissm.sys", which was the same syntax in the txtsetup.oem
file. And after seeing this format all over the web I just knew I had the
correct format.

The link from John John wasn't exactly the fix; although, it did lead me in
the right direction. To fix the problem I basically removed the [\,"Smart
Array 5x and 6x Driver Diskette", "\cpqcissm.sys"] from the device line. So,
the format PCI\VEN_0E11&DEV_B060&SUBSYS_40700E11 =
"C:\drivers\hpcpq\cpqcissm\cpqcissm.inf" worked! Way too simple right!!!

Originally once I executed Sysprep, it immediately restarted the server. I
knew it worked because after the change because the box did not immediately
bounce AND I received an error (for misspelling something). I was on my way
at least! Corrected the error, uploaded and brought down the image on 5
different servers and it worked. The server models were Dell PowerEdge 2650,
CPQ DL580, CPQ DL380, CPQ ML570 and will be testing an IBM 346 tomorrow
(yeah, were a mixed bag of tricks here).

Thanks for your help John John. Now I can continue my Disaster Recovery
testing!
