Automated Install Disk Configuration

Question

Hello,

I've been banging my head against the wall for a couple days and hoping for a little help.  I'm trying to build a Windows 10 Pro Image.  I've built a USB key with 2 partitions, 1 for booting and one for the images.  The image is on the second partition that I'd like to assign letter u to and I'd like the boot partition to have letter t assigned.  For some reason though I always get an error, Windows could not collect information for [OSImage] since the speified image file ... does not exist  and when I hit Shift-F10 I see that the disk configuration was not done and that's why it can't find my file.  Below is my disk configuration that was built with Windows System Image Manager.  Does anyone see why it's not working?
