I was hoping it would fill up the rest of the drive space the HDD is 25GB, 200mb for System, 20GB for Windows Install and i was wanting the 3rd Partition to use the remaining of the drive

Edit: I've also tried setting the 3rd Partition to 1GB <Size>1000</Size> and this has made no difference

Yep, but I would guess that you cannot EXTEND BOTH partition 2 and 3....

What happens with :unsure::

<CreatePartitions>

<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">

<Order>1</Order>

<Size>200</Size>

<Type>Primary</Type>

<Extend>false</Extend>

</CreatePartition>

<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">

<Order>2</Order>

<Size>20000</Size>

<Type>Primary</Type>

<Extend>false</Extend>

</CreatePartition>

<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">

<Order>3</Order>

<Size>1000</Size>

<Type>Primary</Type>

<Extend>true</Extend>

</CreatePartition>

</CreatePartitions>

In this case I guess that the "<Size>1000</Size>" is unneeded..

Good. :) (though I would add a "<Extend>False</Extend>" to 1st partition, as a placeholder as it won't do any harm ;) or - to be coherent - remove the "<Extend>False</Extend>" from 2nd partition)
