Any ideas on what this error (Disk Configuration) is all about?

[Sonicmojo]

Just built a new Win 11 PRO ISO and (for the first time) tried the "Disk Configuration" option within the UnAttended section to create the "standard" 4 partition layout that Windows 11 would create during Windows Setup from a normal ISO.

Here is what I accepted as the 4 "default" partitions via NT Lite:



And here is the error I received almost immediately when testing this in a new Hyper-V VM:



Now - I think I might know the answer here - and it is probably to do with the default "size" of Partition 3 that NT Lite is trying to create.

It expects to create a 100GB for partition 3 - but my entire test vm disk size is just 75GB.

Make sense? Or is this something else?

SOnic.

NTLite has no idea what your actual disk size will be. These are default suggested sizes.

You can click the expand arrows to automatically resize the system partition by extending to end of the disk. To use auto-size, no other partition can exist behind the system partition. This mirrors the <Extend>true</Extend> directive in the unattended file.

That's the same as setting Recovery image to size 0, in Disk template.

 

[tistou77]

Yeah and ?
It works very well like this

 

[garlin]

Setting Recovery to 0 in the wizard, is a shortcut for the same EFI layout. It only takes one second.
But if you rather do it by hand, or copy lines into your preset...

 

[tistou77]

When I did it, Nuhi had just added this part, and hadn't yet added recovery if I remember correctly, and I haven't touched it since.
Afterwards, I did it in the version before the beta (everything wasn't there)
And he still wants to add "entries" (when he has time but I give him a lot of work )

 

[garlin]

I'm missing something, Windows asks what version to install

Use the Disk template, you'll see the size options, there is also the dropdown to select Extend to use the entire drive if you don't want to specify size. Note that moves the Recovery partition to the beginning. It can also be disabled by typing 0 size for recovery.
