How are you doing it now? See this for reference: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrswdist/thread/07958fa7-865f-4bca-9d6a-d536b14e72a2/

Do not make multiple threads.

The MSR setting is only used in a GPT type format. The user's posted diskpart script does not mention switching to GPT mode. I'm fairly certain that Diskpart is smart enough to throw an error if you try to make an MSR partition on an MBR disk.

You should have the option for creating a dump on Process Explorer for that process at the time of high usage.

Is your image generalized?

I was more thinking along the lines of Lost in Translation, but unfortunately it appears that site does not work any longer.

Don't assign the System Reserved a drive letter at all with your diskpart script. And you can't set 2 partitions to be active, so remove the active on the "W" volume.

Your InputLocale has invalid data in it. Change it to this: <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> Take this out of the ImageInstall object <InstallToAvailablePartition>true</InstallToAvailablePartition> Take this out of UserData <FullName>Corey Knapp</FullName>

Either use the attachment system to attach the XML to your post, or paste your answer file in CODE tags. Copying plain-text off the forum can usually lead to formatting errors when pasted into Notepad, among other things. CODE tags help in that respect, but doesn't beat attaching the file directly.

Ok, so you have an image now and need to deploy it, is that where you are getting this problem? Are you using Gimagex or Setup to deploy your image?

Does it do that even if you remove the Word Configuration object?

Set it for 20GB or so, that's what I have for my full disk, single partition answer files. Specifically, I have: 20480

Easy way out, quote rules:

Again, change the Extend in CreatePartitions to False and add a Size. Change the Extend in ModifyPartition back to True. What kind of hardware are you attempting to install on? Is it a notebook? What if you install manually, does Setup still give you the error when trying to install?

The InputLocale is correct, but I don't know why you have the numbers for the rest. <InputLocale>0411:00000411</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>ja-JP</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>ja-JP</UILanguage> <UserLocale>ja-JP</UserLocale> UserLocale [technet]

You already have an extend in ModifyPartitions, so that should be sufficient. You can find more info on the Unattend files here:

It is because when a new hard disk is added to a system that was made on another PC, it is seen as being a foreign disk. It may have something to do with how your enclosure hardware reports the drive to the OS. Does it appear as a removable disk or as a hard drive? One way to tell is how it appears in Computer.

Personally, I would NEVER disable ACPI, since that has a great chance of changing your HAL. Can you post some images of what the PerfMon shows you?

It may be possible that you aren't actually booting the OS, rather that it is resuming from hibernate instead.

Change the Extend in CreatePartitions to false and add a size.

How are you installing? Are you using an answer file?

As I find the Finder's finds... I see this in which you mention that it is not typically possible to boot an OS from a Logical (inside Extended) volume. Is this true in this case as well?

Even Windows 7 has a boot.ini but it isn't used. But the one you are looking for (for XP) should be in the root of the volume XP is installed in. By default this file is attrib +System +Hidden... so if you turn on view Protected Hidden System Files in Folder Options, you should then find it.

I'd imagine that Windows 8 handles auto logon the same way as previous OSes... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows NT>CurrentVersion>Winlogon Set AutoAdminLogon to 0
