I've noticed that the drive mapping changes during the process, not sure
 if that matters or not. A reg key was created at 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\usbstor\1B1Cxxxx. This 
is the one I usually have to delete.





I do have some Powershell coding experience but I haven't looked into the problem yet.





A normal install from a USB drive created with the Windows 7 USB DVD 
download tool, or manually partitioned with diskpart with the files 
copied from the ISO doesn't work. The MAX doesn't recognize a valid boot
 partition nor will it map the drive in the EFI
(x64) shell.
