Windows 10 unattend.xml Disk Configuration Problem

Question

I have some troubles with my answer file. The file works exept the "Disk Configuration" part. The Dialog popups every time even when i set the Value WillShowUI to "Never". I already tried so many examples from the internet, but none of them worked.

What's the Problem with my file? Is there any log file?

There's a folder under \Windows called \Panther. It contains a number of log files that describe issues encountered during setup. In winpe it will be on the x: drive and once you get to the post-deployment phase, it will be on the c: drive. I expect (but am not sure) that the x: drive files get copied to c:. There are separate logs for pre-image device gathering, errors, and actions. — Clay, Apr 22 '20 at 15:10
Partition 4 is kind of a surprise. Could be there isn't a partition 4? — Clay, Apr 22 '20 at 15:12
@Clay Thank you, i figured out what the problem was. the logfile was very helpful :) And yes the Partition 1 was useless. now i have: 100 EFI, 128 MSR, remaining Primary — ThisIsSuperman, May 14 '20 at 11:13
@ThisIsSuperman Please post your corrected unattend.xml as an answer! — Slogmeister Extraordinaire, Feb 05 '21 at 18:42
