Are there any pre-created Autounattend.xml files for Windows 7 unattended installation x86? I have been experimenting and creating the XML file but I am always being prompted to choose which hard disk to format. I can't seem to add in the script to automate that process.

I tried adding the DiskConfiguration portion but the installation keeps giving me error that my diskID is incorrect.

How do I resolve this issue? Is there any pre-created Autounattend.xml file that automates everything?

I want it to work for VMware virtual machine. Currently, VMware creates its own default disk. So RT Seven Lite only works for normal computer and not VMware.
