Systems Deployment : Windows 8 Scripted install Question

Windows 8 Scripted install Question

I am running a scripted install for Windows 8.1 pro. When it gets to the "Install OS" it is asking which partition to install on. I am trying to make this automated as possible, and would like to have this fixed. I do not have anything in the Setup Config for creating the partitions.

The following is what I have for my processes:

Create Single Partition:

select disk 0

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

assign

exit

Format C: as NTFS:

format /q /y /s:enable /fs:ntfs c:

Install Vista/2008/7/8/2012/MBR:

bootsect.exe /NT60 c:

What I ended up doing was setting the partition sizes in the answer file. The following is the part I added under the "windowsPE"
