i think the problem here is not that there are no partitions being made, nor
that the usual NTLDR not found is coming up.
Could you specify where exactly your install depends on the existence of a
partition with driveletter D: ?
other questions:
1. are there any error messages coming up during the execution of the parted
commands that you specify above?
2. does it work when you manually partition the disk using the above parted
commands?
3. I'm not sure, but i can't remember the winnt installer formatting any
other partition other than the partition it is installting windows into.
Your format command (see OP) also does NOT include formatting the D:
