Re: New Hard Disk

Hi Jay,
You have an additional "extend" command in your excerpt that appears to be
causing an error and stopping the process. At least that's what happened
when I tested it.
Try removing extra 'extend' from the modifypartition section.


Below you'll find an excerpt of the Autounattend.xml that I use to
wipe/create a single partition configuration.


Here's my excerpt for comparison.

<DiskConfiguration>
<Disk wcm:action="add">
<ModifyPartitions>
<ModifyPartition wcm:action="add">
<Active>true</Active>
<Format>NTFS</Format>
<Label>DeWitt</Label>
<Letter>C</Letter>
<Order>1</Order>
<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
</ModifyPartition>
</ModifyPartitions>
<WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk>
<DiskID>0</DiskID>
<CreatePartitions>
<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
<Extend>true</Extend>
<Order>1</Order>
<Type>Primary</Type>
</CreatePartition>
</CreatePartitions>
</Disk>
<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
</DiskConfiguration>


Happy New Year!
