Task Sequence failing to apply operating system

[WPilcher]

Hi all,

I'm in the midst of learning the OSD process that's handled by SCCM. My task sequence is using the default steps in order to minimise confusion / issues.

The problem I'm facing is that during the disk partitioning steps, the C: partition isn't being set as active, so when the TS steps through to deploying the OS, it cannot find an area to put it.
The key areas of the log are pasted below, but I've attached the entire log just in case.
Any guidance would be thoroughly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
