CreateSeparateSystemPartition (Standard 7 Package Reference)

7/8/2014

CreateSeparateSystemPartition specifies whether a separate system partition is created during installation. If the disk-partition settings are set for DiskConfiguration in the unattended installation answer file, then this setting is ignored.

To guarantee a 100 MB system partition is created, you should use the following disk configuration settings.

<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
  <Order>1</Order>
  <Type>Primary</Type>
  <Size>100</Size>
</CreatePartition>
<ModifyPartition wcm:action="modify">
  <Order>1</Order>
  <PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
  <Label>System Reserved</Label>
  <Format>NTFS</Format>
  <Extend>false</Extend>
  <Active>true</Active>
</ModifyPartition>

Values

true

If no disk-partition settings are specified in DiskConfiguration and the Image Build Wizard (IBW) determines a system partition is necessary for your configuration, a 100 MB system partition will be created.

false

No separate system partition will be created.
