Hello

I have the setup DVD on a USB Stick implemented and the file
autounattended.xml in the root copied. Setup say that it cannat not install
on disk0 because it can not boot from. With diskpart command the flag Bootdisk is shown = NO.
Installation without autounattended.xml on the USB stick runs normal.

here the autounattended.xml:

YES. :cheers:

This is the relevant part translated in "human readable" format:
DiskConfiguration:Disk:CreatePartitions:CreatePartition:Order: 1Type: PrimarySize: 100CreatePartition:Order: 2Type: PrimarySize: 60000CreatePartition:Order: 3Type: PrimaryExtend: trueModifyPartitions:ModifyPartition:Order: 1PartitionID: 1Format: NTFSLabel: SYSTEMTypeID: 0x27Active: trueModifyPartition:Order: 2PartitionID: 2Format: NTFSLabel: WINDOWSLetter: CModifyPartition:Order: 3PartitionID: 3Format: NTFSLabel: DATALetter: DDiskID: 0WillWipeDisk: trueWillShowUI: AlwaysImageInstall:OSImage:InstallTo:DiskID: 0PartitionID: 2InstallToAvailablePartition: false
By comparing it with the example posted here:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...365(WS.10).aspx
besides some commands put in different order, I can spot a few "missing" items and some added ones, like "InstallToAvailablePartition: false", really cannot say which are the culprits. :dubbio:

I would first thing put the .xml "on-par", and then check the additional options.

Check the attached .xls spreadsheet.
