windwos 7 script installtion failed with USB drive present
I am trying to run windows 7 script installation with 1 fixed SATA drive and 1 usb drive present (for backup purpose). The setup failed with error "windows 7 cannot locate the disk and partition specified in unattented"... or "setup was unable to create a new system partition..." The error depends on how I configure <ImageInstall> in the Unattend.xml. Setupact.log shows that windows 7 is failed because of trying to install into the USB drive (Why it doing that??)
Here is the part in xml for installation drive: Please note I have a post install script to format the drive 0 (SATA drive) with 2 parts for the installation. and this drive is available when the installation begin.
<ImageInstall>
<OSImage>
<InstallToAvailablePartition>true</InstallToAvailablePartition>
<InstallFrom>
<MetaData>
<Key>/IMAGE/Name</Key>
<Value>windows 7 enterprise</Value>
</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>
</OSImage>
</ImageInstall>
or
<ImageInstall>
<OSImage>
<InstallTo>
<DiskID>0</DiskID>
<PartitionID>2</PartitionID>
</InstallTo>
<InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition>
<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
<InstallFrom>
<MetaData>
<Key>/IMAGE/Name</Key>
<Value>Windows 7 Enterprise</Value>
</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>
</OSImage>
</ImageInstall>
Anyone has similar issue?
