Vista Unattended - Will Not Create Disk Partitions

[maxXPsoft]

Or as a very simple note from the .chm

InstallTo specifies the disk and partition where you want to install the Windows image. For unattended installations, you must specify either InstallTo or InstallToAvailablePartition.

The problem with MS .chm files is, that they are not clearly arranged allmost. So it's easy to overread something.

If MS-Docs would be clearly arranged we would not need this site here.

we know its not allways 100%

Hi, name is Brian. I'm new to the forums and i'm having trouble with the disk config portion.

This is what I have currenty

<DiskConfiguration>
				<WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI>
				<Disk>
					<CreatePartitions>
						<CreatePartition>
							<Order>1</Order>
							<Type>Primary</Type>
							<Extend>true</Extend>
						</CreatePartition>
					</CreatePartitions>
					<DiskID>0</DiskID>
					<WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk>
					<ModifyPartitions>
						<ModifyPartition>
							<Active>true</Active>
							<Extend>False</Extend>
							<Format>NTFS</Format>
							<Label>SYSTEM</Label>
							<Letter>C</Letter>
							<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
							<Order>1</Order>
						</ModifyPartition>
					</ModifyPartitions>
				</Disk>
</DiskConfiguration>

For some reason it is not wiping the disk and doesn't recreate the partition

EDIT: Using RTM with the newest WAIK.

Also tried using RC2 with the same issues.

Also if I make WillWipeDisk=False it will actually install w/o error but will do nothing to the existing partitions leaving us with whatever the manufacturer had set.

Hello Brian,

do you have several Disks in your system or one only?
