Fantastic post over The Configuration Manager Support Team Blog.
Read the full post here for the cause and resolutions.
Here’s a snippet:
When a Task Sequence is created via the "Create New Task Sequence Wizard", the Task Sequence may fail if the Windows OS being deployed is Windows 7 and the reference Windows 7 WIM image being deployed was manually created and then captured using the SCCM 2007 Capture CD.
The Task Sequence Error dialog may show one of the following errors:
Error 1
Task Sequence: <Task_Sequence_Name> has failed with the error code (0x8000FFFF). For more information, please contact your system administrator or helpdesk operator.
Error 2
Task Sequence: <Task_Sequence_Name> has failed with the error code (0x80070070). For more information, please contact your system administrator or helpdesk operator.
Examining the SMSTS.log(s) reveals one or more of the following errors:
Error 1
Partition 1 larger than remaining disk space. Requested partition size: <X>, remaining size: <Value_smaller_than_X> OSDDiskPart
LoadPartitionConfiguration( i, oDisk, cbDiskSize, cbContainerPartitionSize, pCurPartition), HRESULT=8000ffff (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osddiskpart\main.cpp,751) OSDDiskPart
