Trying to deploy Optiplex 5040 desktops using WDS

I have several images for Optiplex computers, and everything works fine until I try to image one of these new Optiplex 5040 computers with a SSD drive. I guess the issue is perhaps that the captured image was from a Pc with a spindle drive, and the target computer I am trying to deploy an image to has an SSD drive.  So, when I boot to the LAN, then select the boot and install image, everything works fine, except when it starts setup, it asks for a storage driver; it can't recognize the local disk. So it asks for a driver.... so I found some drivers on dell.com, and tried loading them, but to no avail.  One of the drivers actially loaded, but then it still wouldn't see the disk drive.  I also injected the storage drivers into the boot.wim file in WDS, and then replaced the boot image with th enew image. By the way, the WDS server is a Windows 2012 R2 member server.  So I injected all these drivers, and it did not help.  Can anyone help me or give me some tips on how to fix this?  I will post the answer if I find it - but if anyone can help, I will be most grateful.

Many thanks, 

Sam S.
