I have "Select which operating system you want" even though I only have 1 option (windows 10 pro) - this is in VMware, haven't tried in the actual computer yet.

Thanks a lot!

question no1 - if you install in MBR mode, not in UEFI mode, and you only have 2 drives and only 2 partitions in total, c drive and install drive, either usb key or dvd drive, then the 2nd drive will be D:

if you install in UEFI mode uefi creates multiple partitions, i dont know if they will all have a drive letter assigned or not.
if you have multiple drives/multiple partitions or install in uefi more there is command code to search for all availible drives, i cant remember what is is though.

what you can do for all these situations is to copy files/folders over to the c: drive is by using the $OEM$ folders method.

George King you beat me too it
 
Yup thanks, I found the $OEM$ folder thing and I will probably just do that. Thank you.


The OS selection thing is annoying me. Definitely not a huge deal, but I wish I could fix it.

Customizing default user profile

Hello, i'm building a customized Windows 10 (1909-64) image like i did on Window XP in the past with Nlite. The copy-profile method took my into deep trouble. Up to now i - remove unwanted Windows Store Apps with Ntlite - define a custom start-menu by LayoutModification.xml - make some...

to place a folder at the root of c: drive during installation use
Code: 
$OEM$\$1\install
install being your folder with your files inside. dont forget to use silent switches if you prefer silent installs.

Code: 
$OEM$\$$\
will place files and folders inside c:\windows\

Thanks, I see that, but is there a way to stop the prompt for editions of Windows even though I only have 1 in the list?

This is also happening to me. I believe it is due to the latest changes in NTLite with unattended options. In build 7742 and earlier this never occurred.

This is a job for nuhi

You can work around this temporarily by editing the autounattend.xml

In:

XML: 
<InstallFrom>
    <MetaData wcm:action="add">
        <Key>/IMAGE/INDEX</Key>
        <Value>0</Value>
    </MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

Change the 0 to 1.
 
themodfather and AeonX, do you really get that prompt (index value 0) with the current version, build 7760?
If so, can I get your preset and if you have info which exact image to test it on.

Thanks.
 
Yes nuhi I use version 2.1.0.7760 and it happens.

I loaded Pro with en_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_1909_updated_dec_2020_x64_dvd_352851c3.iso and Enterprise with en_windows_10_business_editions_version_1909_updated_dec_2020_x64_dvd_29b7f2e9.iso.

My last test was with Enterprise but in both cases it happens.

My preset is attached.

Thanks AeonX, it was the boot.wim trimming at the same time as install.wim, reducing the targeted image index beyond scope.
OK, fixed and uploaded in a build 7770, let me know how it goes.
