Ok, I change the add to modify and now it format my unallocated disk but it says the partition is not correctly formatted.

I found some solution. When the harddisk is unallocated (means no partions on it) the autopartition doesn't work but when I format the disk and restart the setup it works. The Disks are formatted and the setup runs through. Maybe I should change this section to modify? <Disk wcm:action="add">

I use Virtualbox to test my windows 7 setup here a some information vCPU:1 Ram: 1024 MB HD: 40 GB Sata0: Optical Drive Sata1: Harddisk 0 The Harddisk on Sata1 is correctly recognized as Disk0. VirtualBox 4.1.12 (newest)

Sorry for my delayed response I had some exams but now I'm finished. I try the step with removing the extend options and replace it with a fixed size -> doesn't work. @TheWalrus I'll test your file to verify if the error comes from the orders of the lines.

It looks like the xml file is corrupt or something but the xml validation of the wsim shows me no problems.

It's easy after some time it shows the Partition Window with Disk 0 unallocated Space and that's all nothing more.

What do you mean? Space of the Partitions? Refer to the autounattend.xml my partitions are 1. System Reserved 200MB 2. System 20GB 3. extend The harddisk is a vdi file with 40 GB size. best regards
