Thank you for that. This is what I ended up with:
"Copying template $source..." | Write-Host Copy-Item -Path "$source" -Destination "." -recurse # $base has vmx template folder name Move-Item $base $stage "Creating addition virtual disk..." | Write-Host . "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" -c "$stage\disk2.vmdk" -t 1 -s 60GB -a lsilogic $spec = "scsi1.present = `"TRUE`" scsi1.virtualdev = `"lsisas1068`" scsi1:0.filename = `"disk2.vmdk`" scsi1:0.present = `"TRUE`"" #This is my vmx name $spec | Add-Content "$stage\packer-windows-2012-base.vmx" After that I can run packer and in the powershell provisioner execute this script: Get-Disk | Where partitionstyle -eq 'raw' | Initialize-Disk -PartitionStyle MBR -PassThru | New-Partition -AssignDriveLetter -UseMaximumSize | Format-Volume -FileSystem NTFS -NewFileSystemLabel "disk2" -Confirm:$false This seems to do the trick.
