Software

Hello Everyone,

I have been having issues for a little while since upgrading to 6.1 on my SDA.  When running the script, everything runs fine until I start installing Windows.  From there, I get an error message inside of Windows setup that consists of the following:

Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answer file's <ImageInstall> setting. Make sure the setting references a valid partition and restart the installation.

I have not changed anything on the SDA before the 6.1 upgrade and was not having the issue.  Below I have the script (I did change all of the information that is pertinent to my company).

Script:
