A. When converting from a FAT32 to NTFS partition if the volume has avolume name then you will be prompted to enter this name. Obviously if this isan automated operation there is no way to enter that volume name so theoperation fails.
To request an NTFS upgrade during a SYSPREP clone operating the following isadded to the sysprep.inf file
[UNATTEND]
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS
To resolve the issue either issue the convert command for the file systembefore running SYSPREP, this will enter the convert action in the registry to becompleted during sysprep:
convert c: /fs:ntfs
The other option is to remove the volume label:
Double click My Computer
Right click the drive and select Properties
Remove the name of the volume and click OK
