Hello,
First time writer, decently long time reader. I have an issue that has been haunting me for the past few days.
I work for the IT department at a Community College in Port Huron, MI. Recently, I was given the task of ghosting and reimaging three mini laptops, provided to me by the assisted learning department.
Normally, when reimaging computers/ laptops, I merely stick the machine (asks me to choose either Intel or Broadcom NIC drivers, then I load the ghost client, and botta-bing botta-boom), and I'm all set to go. However, when I stuck my first mini laptop, I get the following message:

The laptop is an HP Pavilion TouchSmart 10-e010nr, running 64-bit Windows 8.1
I am still relatively new to the ghosting world, so please bare with me if you can. Also, feel free to request more information if necessary
