Ok I modified the script for you.
This way it will create C partition of 50gigs and D partition with the rest of the HD that you are using. No matter if it's 40 or 600 gigs , it will format it and make it avaliable as a D drive.
Try it out first then edit it if you need to.

Autounattend.xml

Good job on this, Neuropass.

As far as the 100 MB partition, it shouldn't get a drive letter if configured/set up properly. If done properly, C: would still be your "Windows" drive and D: would still be your "Data" drive. That 100 MB partition contains the Windows Recovery Environment as well as stuff for BitLocker and boot files with boot manager.

If you want to keep this 100 MB partition but don't want it to have a drive letter, you add the following line to the Modify Partition part of the XML file for that partition:
Code: Select all<TypeID>0x27</TypeID>



Here's an example taken from a working XML file:
Code: Select all<ModifyPartition wcm:action="add">
      <Order>1</Order>
      <PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
      <Label>Recovery</Label>
      <Format>NTFS</Format>
      <TypeID>0x27</TypeID>
</ModifyPartition>

@Echo_Platoon
that is cool mate. Nice little trick. I added it to the tutorial.



@VistaKing
You can compare my file and yours to see the differences. ;-) Sometimes small details make the difference, specially under Windows :shock: :linu:
I'm glad it worked.

Can you one see if my Autounattend.xml will work ? What I am trying to achieve is to have two hard drives. One hard drive will be a SSD 256GB drive for Windows and Apps and the 2nd hard drive(1TB) will be for Data ( Users Profile ) .

Thanks in advance
