Well I get to be the next in a line of folks resurrecting this thread due to the sad state that this tutorial doesn't seem to work with my Windows 11 install, after years of using it for deploying multi-drive Windows 10 boxes.
I have 2x AMD Ryzen based gaming machines, with a NVMe as primary boot and SATA connected drive as secondary storage. In both cases trying to use this tutorial only results in the same OOBE error plaguing others. I've tried using audit mode, and setting the drives there. I've tried partitioning and formating the drives at drive selection. I've removed the optical drive. I've made sure to unplug the USB. I just don't know to do anymore. I had a ray of hope with this post from TenForums, but it doesn't really elaborate on where to insert the XML and I'm not familiar enough with modifying Windows boot and install.
At this point the only way this works is to install Win10 using Kari's tutorial, and do a Win11 upgrade. It's a pain in the ass, but it does acheive the end goal.
