Windows cannot parse the unattend answer file's

[edzi]

Hi

I am trying building WinRe using OPK. When I try to use AutoUnattend file on setup I got this message: Windows cannot parse the unattend answer file's <DiskConfiguration> settings

I tried to find what I did wrong on DiskConfiguration settings but cameup with nothing as I follow the OPK instructions

here is my AutoUnattend.xml file

Try using the codebox tag for the XML above.

What does the validator in WSIM say?

Also, WinRE partitions are supposed to be at the beginning of the drive, not at the end.

I tried with that XML what you have recommend in 100 MB size .still the Result same ......

You tried what?? When you opened the XML in Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) and validated it, did it show any errors or warnings in the contents of your XML?
