[Blind-sysadmins] win7pro unattend file disk configuration error

19 Dec 2012

      Hello,

I'm trying to do an unattended install of win7 pro x64. I am getting
an error that the answer file <disk configuration> section can not be
applied. I've checked in bios and if disk0 matches sata0 channel 0
then it should work, unless there's an error in my unattend file.
Here's the disk info block:

            <DiskConfiguration>
                <Disk wcm:action="add">
					<DiskID>0</DiskID>
					<!-- Format partition 1 of disk 0. -->
                    <ModifyPartitions>
                        <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add">
					<!-- Do not Extend partition 1 of disk 0. -->
                            <Extend>false</Extend>
                            <Format>NTFS</Format>
					<!-- Change letter of partition 1 of disk 0 from f to c. -->
                            <Letter>C</Letter>
                            <Order>1</Order>
                            <PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
                            <Label>Windows 7</Label>
                        </ModifyPartition>
                    </ModifyPartitions>
                </Disk>
                <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
            </DiskConfiguration>
            <ImageInstall>
                <OSImage>
                    <InstallTo>
                        <DiskID>0</DiskID>
                        <PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
                    </InstallTo>
                </OSImage>
            </ImageInstall>

This is the second pass with this file. I had atempted this yesterday,
with only one change the extend line was set to true so I was thinking
the partition would take up the entire physical drive. That gave an
error about the extend line so I set it to false which is where it is
now. And I'm getting the error about being unable to apply the disk
configuration. I'd appreciateany suggestions.

Thanks.
Dave.
