plain and simple, i just want it to use all the driver, but for some silly reason it won't. anyone? :}

<DiskConfiguration>
				<WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI>
				<Disk>
					<CreatePartitions>
						<CreatePartition>
							<Order>1</Order>
							<Type>Primary</Type>
							<Extend>true</Extend>
						</CreatePartition>
					</CreatePartitions>
					<DiskID>0</DiskID>

							<Order>1</Order>
						</ModifyPartition>
					</ModifyPartitions>
				</Disk>
			</DiskConfiguration>


from what i understand the extend function should extend the partition to the whole of the drive. I've also used it with it set to false and no joy

I had a similar problem, and a guy in this forum to told me to change it from:

<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>true</Extend>
							<Format>NTFS</Format>
							<Label>SYSTEM</Label>
							<Letter>C</Letter>
							<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
							<Order>1</Order>
						</ModifyPartition>
					</ModifyPartitions>
				</Disk>
</DiskConfiguration>


into:

<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>


and the explenation was that since I already expanded it in the "CreatePartition" section, no need to do it in the "ModifyPartition" section.... worked for me! Hope it helps...

That's right. It's realy a shame that the docs of WAIK a such a piece of cr.... partly!
Nearly everybody I know - and me, too, was caught by this DiskConfiguration trap. :thumbup

Note:

If you've just one partition on your Disk and all you wanna do is formating the partition before installing Vista use the following code in your AutoUnattend.xml:

<DiskConfiguration>
				<Disk wcm:action="add">
					<ModifyPartitions>
						<ModifyPartition wcm:action="add">
							<Active>true</Active>
							<Extend>false</Extend>
							<Format>NTFS</Format>
							<Label>Vista-OS</Label>
							<Letter>C</Letter>
							<Order>1</Order>
							<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
						</ModifyPartition>
					 </ModifyPartitions>
					<DiskID>0</DiskID>
					<WillWipeDisk>false</WillWipeDisk>
				</Disk>
				<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
			</DiskConfiguration>

thanks guys, but i've tried both of your methods to no avail, here is my full unattend file. the driver installs fine, but the setup don't seem to use any of the "Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE & Microsoft-Windows-Setup" component settings, but saying that, it will set the virtual page size.

what am i doing wrong?

AFAIK there is no special UK-Language-Pack you could use for this setting. Check out the Document "Supported Language Packs" in Unattended.chm.

Replace UK through US, you should be able to change the keyboard layout. But I'm not 100% sure...

Could you please tell me what the result of this unattended is? Does it give you an error during setup or what happens exactly?

The disk configuration in your case, should look like this:
<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>

I've just tried that, and no good.
I want to get rid of the language option at the beginning of the install, disk configuration, virtual page size, and install the audio driver. so far it only does the page size and audio driver.

what the hell i'm i doing that is so silly that i cant even see it.

below is the last version of my XML file

Well, if you get a prompt with the language option, than you should change en-UK to en-US. This has nothing to do with the Diskconfiguration? Or have I missunderstood anything?

Well Chris,

I hadn't got it perfectly. Don't expect to much from a stupid German Kraut. :lol:

However, now I've got it!

Please add the following code to the Windows-Setup section of your AutoUnattend.xml:

<ImageInstall>
	 <OSImage>
		   <InstallTo>
				 <DiskID>0</DiskID>
				 <PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
		   </InstallTo>
		   <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
		   <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition>
	 </OSImage>
</ImageInstall>


Explanation:
The Diskconfiguration part is ok now on your AutoUnattend.xml. The reason why setup is asking you where to install Vista is, that you have not "told" so far where to install it. The OSImage/InstallTo MUST be insert into AutoUnattend.xml to get Vista Setup unattended. Sorry, that I didn't recognized this in your first Autounattend.xml post allready.

Germans allways do it in the extra time... :thumbup

Now let it rock!

Cheers, Chris!
Martin

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. :rolleyes:

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.
