Unable to Deploy image or Scripted Installations with this error on copy image task step : Windows could not format a partition on disk 0 or x. Error code : 0x80300024
Description

During the deployment at the step of copying the image and installing the operating system :
You get this error with the dialog box :
The Installation was canceled

Any changes made to your computer won't be saved.
Windows could not format a partition on disk 0 or x. The target Disk, partition, or volume does not support the specified operation. The error occurred while preparing the partition selected for installation. Error code: 0x80300024.
Cause

- The Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software. GPT disks do not allow hidden sectors. Software components that formerly used hidden sectors now allocate portions of the MSR for component-specific partitions.
- Every GPT disk must contain an MSR. The order of partitions on the disk should be ESP (if any), OEM (if any) and MSR followed by primary data partition(s). It is particularly important that the MSR be created before other primary data partitions.
- The MSR should be located after the EFI System Partition (ESP) and any OEM service partitions, but it must be located before any primary partitions of bootable Windows operating systems. Microsoft expects an MSR to be present on every GPT disk, and recommends it to be created as the disk is initially partitioned.
Disk size MSR size
Less than 16 GB 32 MB (32 × 220 bytes)
Greater than 16 GB 128 MB
- But with the installation of windows 11 takes care of the creation of this partition, so it is not necessary to create it beforehand.

Resolution

- Duplicate this Pre-install default task for delete the ligne of code not appropriate : "ECHO Create partition msr size=128"

[DISK] Create BIOS/UEFI Partitions
@echo off
wpeutil UpdateBootInfo
for /f "tokens=2* delims= " %%A in ('reg query HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control /v PEFirmwareType') DO SET FIRMWARE=%%B
echo Firmware Type: %FIRMWARE%
echo Explanation of Firmware Type: (0x1 is BIOS, 0x2 is UEFI)

diskpart /s X:\Windows\System32\BIOS.txt
goto END
:END

After duplicate for example rename to Duplicate this : [DISK] Create BIOS/UEFI Partitions / For windows 11 without MSR partition

- Then delete this line of code which is used to create the MSR partition on UEFI part :
And ECHO Create partition msr size=128 on EUFI part deleted :
Version corrected :
@echo off
wpeutil UpdateBootInfo
for /f "tokens=2* delims= " %%A in ('reg query HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control /v PEFirmwareType') DO SET FIRMWARE=%%B
echo Firmware Type: %FIRMWARE%
