I have a Windows 10 Home machine (VirtualBox). Its EFI machine, Disk is GPT and Dynamic.
Please refer below image
Following image shows the existing partition
I am trying to install Windows 10 Pro on it using WDS. I don't want to wipe the "Disk 0", but I just want to format the "Partition 4" to NTFS which contains the OS.
Following is portion from my "unattend.xml"

I am getting following error
**> Note::
"Disk 0" is GPT and Dynamic = Error.
"Disk 0" is only GPT and not Dynamic = No Error, Installation Successful.**
I am trying to find the answer for the following questions
1. Why I am getting this error?
2. What is wrong in my "unattend.xml"?
3. What changes I need to do in my "unattend.xml" to make this work?
4. Why I get error only when Disk is both GPT and Dynamic and not when Disk is only GPT?
