Unattend file for Server 2008

I deploy my servers using the HP Rapid Deployment Pack, which images servers
using a standard answer file.
My disks are a 146GB mirrored array.
By default the install uses all the space and I get a 146GB C drive.
I need the boot partition to be 15GB
In Win 2003 I add the line ExtendOemPartition=7500 to the answer file and I
get the partition size I want.
I have tried modifying the answer file for 2008 by adding the size line (as
seen below) to the disk configuration.
<DiskConfiguration>
<Disk wcm:action="add">
<DiskID>0</DiskID>
<WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk>
<CreatePartitions>
<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
<Order>1</Order>
<Size>15360</Size>
<Type>Primary</Type>
<Extend>true</Extend>
</CreatePartition>
</CreatePartitions>
<ModifyPartitions>
<ModifyPartition wcm:action="add">
<Order>1</Order>
<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
<Active>true</Active>
<Format>NTFS</Format>
<Letter>C</Letter>
</ModifyPartition>
</ModifyPartitions>
</Disk>
<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
</DiskConfiguration>
This does not work and the install stops with an error, just as the Windows
install begins that says "Windows could not prepare the partition selected
for installation"
Any help on how to correctly modify this install file is appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
