When I install Windows 7 (64bit) Enterprise over WDS, it successfully goes through the installation but then when it actually tries to boot from the hard drive where it installed windows, it doesn't recognize it as a valid boot device....

"No bootable device found"

    There's not enough information here to answer. What else have you tried? Does it only fail on that one machine, or all of them? What does the WDS log say? What kind of drive is it? – Andrew Schulman Nov 25 '14 at 19:02
  • I've tried on two different identical machines, I've also tried a custom made 64 bit version of windows 7 with programs installed on it, how do I pull up the wds log? (Also trying 32bit win7 as we speak) – Kaden Nelson Nov 25 '14 at 19:12
  • Can you browse the drive you just recently imaged, is it formatted? Are the systems files present? – Get-HomeByFiveOClock Nov 25 '14 at 19:30
  • yes they are present – Kaden Nelson Nov 25 '14 at 19:42
  • is the bootsect file you are using for x86 or x64 bit systems? – Get-HomeByFiveOClock Nov 25 '14 at 20:01
  • Are you using the same Boot image type as the deployment image? Did you integrate all of the required drivers? Did you break a RAID array (if more than one disk)? Are you installing to the primary disk (if more than one disk)? – Elliot Huffman Nov 25 '14 at 21:54
  • Try running `bootsect /nt60 X:` where `X` is the drive letter of the destination drive where Windows is installed. – Elliot Huffman Nov 25 '14 at 21:55
