CreateSeparateSystemPartition (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the CreateSeparateSystemPartition setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting specifies whether to create a separate partition during installation.

Set to true to create a partition; otherwise, set to false.

The following list shows how CreateSeparateSystemPartition works with disk partition settings for Setup/DiskConfiguration:

• If disk-partition settings are specified, then CreateSeparateSystemPartition is ignored.
• If no disk-partition settings are specified yet, Image Builder Wizard (IBW) determines that a system partition is needed for your configuration, and IBW creates a 100 MB system partition in your image.

  <Disk wcm:action="add">
    <DiskID>0</DiskID> 
    <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> 
    <CreatePartitions>
      <CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
        <Order>1</Order> 
        <Type>Primary</Type> 
        <Size>200</Size> 
      </CreatePartition>
    </CreatePartitions>

    <ModifyPartitions>
      <ModifyPartition wcm:action="modify">
        <Order>1</Order>
