When taking a closer look at SMSTS.log we will see these error’s:

If this is the case select the right image (here image 2-2) you could also remove the System Reserved partition from you capture task Sequence, but be aware that there could be situations where you would like it to be thereSmile

Please note that there are other reasons for this error, the disk might not be available at all (just to mention one other reason).
