hal.dll missing after imaging dell optiplex 760 with WDS

After successful image machine boots with the following error;

Windows don't boot because the file \system32\hal.dll is missing

Please re-install a copy file.

After some googling came upon this solution and it works great!

Boot into WDS as if deploying an image
once logged on hit Shift+F10 to get a Command prompt

DISKPART
SELECT DISK 0
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
EXIT
EXIT

Close the command prompt and image as usual. Sweet!
