The normal order for UEFI disk layout:


Recovery is supposed to be last, in case Windows partition needs to be resized to allow Recovery to grow larger if you upgrade this system.

Recovery is supposed to be last, in case Windows partition needs to be resized to allow Recovery to grow larger if you upgrade this system.

How we can do that? Any idea

Change your partition order.
Open Notepad, and edit autounattend.xml:

• Move lines for CreatePartition <Order>1 to the end of <CreatePartitions>
• Move lines for ModifyPartition <Order>1 to the end of <ModifyPartitions>
• Renumber all the <Order>'s sequentially from 1 to 4.
• Create a new ISO. You don't need to load the image for this step, since autounattend.xml lives in the ISO folder.

Hope this will work!

Hello can you send the print of how you put the way to partition the disk. Thanks.

If you have NTLite's licensed edition, there's a Configure Disk wizard in the Unattended page.

Otherwise on free edition, learn how to use the autounattend.xml file to create the disk layout. The best way is to copy the <DiskConfiguration> block from someone else's working unattended file. There are two different disk layouts, one each for UEFI (GPT) and MBR boot modes.

Good afternoon,

Can you send me a printout of how you did this configuration? Because I tried to do it this way, it gave an error.

The screenshot in post #5 explains it.
Recovery and System can switch places in partitions 3-4. But the first two partitions must be EFI & MSR.

If you make Recovery #3, then System will extend to the rest of the disk.

If you make System #3, then you need to know the exact disk size, since the extend command doesn't work if Recovery is holding the end of the disk. Extend means "to the end of the disk" not "up to the next partition". So you have to do the math by hand.

Hello jewel,

I even did this process yesterday following this image nº5. But when the Windows installation starts, it says that Windows cannot be installed.

Are you using UEFI or MBR (legacy) boot mode?

Can you attach your preset? I need to see what you're entering (not from a screenshot).
