[mdt] Format and Partition Disk not working correctly

[stanwell]

Hi,

 

I have created an XP image with a single partition on a virtual machine. I then capture that image and deploy it to Dell systems using MDT. I have configured the "Format and Partition Disk" section in my task sequence as follows:

 

Disk number: 0

Disk type: Standard (MBR)

 

System (Primary)

50% of remaining space on disk. NTFS file system.

 

Data (Extended)

100% of remaining space on disk.

 

The Dell systems have 250GB hard drives. The task sequence is creating the primary partition with 100% disk space instead of 50%. Then when I open Disk Management on the deployed machine it shows an additional 100GB (approx) partition with no drive letter assigned and tells me that the drive is 350GB. If I delete this partition it then realises that the drive is only 250GB...

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Dan
