I'm trying out the System Image Manager to create an answer file (and
ultimately install Vista completely unattended) but whenever I boot the Vista DVD with the answer file on a USB stick I can't get past the disk partition portion of the installation. It either says it couldn't create the partition or the disk could not be found. My intention is to wipe the disk clean and install Vista using the whole disk regardless of the size of the disk or the existing data content. Here is a snip of my autounattend.xml file. If anyone's got this working I'd like to see what options you have specified: DiskConfiguration Disk wcm:action="add" CreatePartitions CreatePartition wcm:action="add" Order1/Order Size20000/Size TypePrimary/Type /CreatePartition /CreatePartitions ModifyPartitions ModifyPartition wcm:action="add" Activetrue/Active Extendfalse/Extend FormatNTFS/Format LabelOS_Install/Label LetterC/Letter Order1/Order PartitionID1/PartitionID /ModifyPartition /ModifyPartitions DiskID0/DiskID WillWipeDisktrue/WillWipeDisk /Disk WillShowUIOnError/WillShowUI /DiskConfiguration ImageInstall OSImage InstallTo DiskID0/DiskID PartitionID1/PartitionID /InstallTo WillShowUIOnError/WillShowUI /OSImage

It may be a driver problem for the hard drive controller. When you do a
manual install on the same hardware do you have to add a driver for the controller? -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca cpu wrote: I'm trying out the System Image Manager to create an answer file (and ultimately install Vista completely unattended) but whenever I boot the Vista DVD with the answer file on a USB stick I can't get past the disk partition portion of the installation.
