The 270s and 280s are well known for faulty capacitors on the mainboard;
however, I do not know Dell's position on this topic. If you have a mainboard
with swollen and leaky capacitors, this may be contributing to the logical
hardware materialization.

Why is your SysprepMassStorage section 20 pages long? I have an image that
works on GX270/280/520/620s and D600/610s and my section looks like this:
