WAIK Unattend DiskConfiguration Issues
I am trying to create an unattend file on an image uploaded to a WDS server. For some reason even though I specify to create 2 partitions on Disk 0 in the unattend answer file, it is creating a single partition on Disk 0 and 2 partitions on Disk 1. Disk 0 is a fixed size of 60GB. I am allocating 100MB to the System Reserved partition and 59800MB to the Windows OS partition.
If you notice that the partitions on Disk 1 are offline this is because I have a SCSI emulated drive on a Hyper-V server. This should not be a problem since I am trying to install the operating system on the IDE emulated Disk 0.

you may want to only have 1 drive and load the second drive after the install is complete
