windows unattended: windows could not prepare the partition selected for installation

  • 772

I'm trying to create an unattended windows 7 setup DVD. I'm using WSIM to make the XML. I have the felowing issues:

  • PE ask me for language, even if it's set in the answer file
  • PE ask for to select a disk, even if it's set in the answer file
  • After choosing disk 0 from the interface, I get this error:
    • Windows could not prepare the partition selected for installation

Here's the script: http://pastebin.com/vbP556hZ

The PC is fairly simple: one ssd, one dvdr

Thank you!

    You can try to remove the following line:

    true

    "If you specify a location to install Windows in InstallTo, do not set InstallToAvailablePartition." RE: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/cc709624(v=ws.10).aspx

    You already specify to "InstallTo" Disk 0, Partition 1

    Good luck
