I ended up switching my storage in BIOS to AHCI mode and that did the trick

Hello, I'm trying to setup a Windows Deployment Server 2019 at my place of business for my IT Techs to image workstations. The server is physical and has a freshly installed Windows 2019 datacenter and is updated with the latest Microsoft updates. The WDS server is in a 2016 domain functional level and 2012 R2 forest functional level environment.
My issue is when I do a PXE boot the windows PE does see the disk drive.
Let me backup a couple of steps here. I did successfully do a capture image from a Dell Latitude 7480 laptop (did a sysprep prior to capturing the image). I was also able to successfully reimage the same Dell Latitude 7480 laptop with that image. So I know the image works.
When I try to use that same image to reimage a Dell Latitude 5520, I run into the error message stating, "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load driver". I did inject the image with all the Dell Latitude 5520 storage drivers (.inf files).
I'm new to the WDS world. What am I missing here? Is there a setting in the BIOS that needs to be changed? Can you use an image from one laptop and us it on another model laptop?

Add them to your your pixie boot image as well as your windows 11 and windows 10 drivers, your imaging system will see RAID HD in both Intel and AMD chipsets of recent years. (We work with Dell but their WindowsPE drivers cause bluescreen and failure to load OS.)
