PXE boot SCCM task sequence to format disk fails on laptop w/ SOPHOS-7.00.1.2-encrypted drive

Hi. I'm trying to upgrade a laptop's OS (Win7 SP1) to Windows 10 2016 LTSB. I'm using a task sequence in Microsoft System Center 2012 R2, which is configured alongside MDT build 8443. I'm able to PXE boot and load Win 10 over Windows 7 SP1 laptops without SOPHOS on them. However, when I try to load Win10 over another system with the same exact hardware, but it has SOPHOS 7.00.1.2 on it, I get "Task Sequence xxxxx has failed with the error code (0x800700A1)." I've Googled how to fix this, and several links have said to boot to PXE, start the WINPE environment into a CMD prompt, then run DISKPART. When I go into DISKPART and execute "LIST DISK", I get the following: "There are no fixed disks to show." When I don't boot the laptop to PXE, the system boots into Windows 7 just fine, after I've entered proper SOPHOS credentials that is. Ideas on how to get my task sequence to wipe this SOPHOS-encrypted drive so I can load Windows 10 on it? (I don't need anything from that HD.)

 

Thank you.
