Hello from another DV11 User (We are running the 7130 models).
We actually do our image building in VM's, capture and then deploy the image down to the Venue. As the others have said, in order for LD to not capture the entire drive, you will need to simply shrink the volume and then you should be good to go.
Good news though, Gigabit docks are coming soon! Can't talk about it on the forums, but willing to share offline, but some hang in there, a gigabit dock should be coming in the month or two.
We currently have the DV11 fully deployed in legacy mode and am working with LD support to work on the quirks when deploying with UEFI.
Definitely wouldn't mind touching base offline and getting together to share "war stories" if you would like. These things have got to be the pickiest and issue filled device i have ever worked with.
