Feigned Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hi guys. If this is the wrong forum, my apologies as it looks like the best candidate!My other thread for today is solved, hopefully this one can be succesfully answered in quick fashion as well.After loading the necessary files to begin installation, the part where the disk is automatically partitioned and formatted is borked up somehow. It tells me "Setup cannot format this partition. The disk may be damaged."The disk is fine. It had an installation of 2kSP3 humming away on it for 6 months before I put it in this machine. The autopartition and formatting works great if I install directly from a cd.Here is my answer file:[data]floppyless = "1"msdosinitiated = "1"OriSrc = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%"OriTyp = "4"LocalSourceOnCD = 1UnattendedInstall=YesAutoPartition = 1[SetupData]OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect"SetupSourceDevice = "\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%"[Unattended]DriverSigningPolicy = IgnoreOemPreinstall = yesNoWaitAfterTextMode = 0FileSystem = ConvertNTFSRepartition=YesExtendOEMPartition = 1ConfirmHardware = noNtUpgrade = noWin31Upgrade = noTargetPath = \WINNTOverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = noOemSkipEula = yesOEMSkipWelcome=1UnattendMode=DefaultHideInstallFilesPath = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%"OEMPnPDriversPath="drivers\acer320;drivers\acer325;drivers\agpvideo;drivers\agpvideo\new;drivers\agpvideo\pa50;drivers\agpvideo\video;drivers\ich5865;drivers\ich4845;drivers\ich4m845;drivers\ich5m845;drivers\ich3s815;drivers\ich3m815;drivers\in845vga;drivers\in865vga;drivers\nic;drivers\nm9805;drivers\pro100ve;drivers\pro1000;drivers\rage128p;drivers\rage128p\atidrive;drivers\s353005;drivers\sis;drivers\sis651;drivers\smc1255;drivers\smc1255t;drivers\tri9750;drivers\sis961"[UserData]FullName = "Administrator"OrgName = "********************"ComputerName = %MACHINENAME%[GuiUnattended]OemSkipWelcome = 1OemSkipRegional = 1AutoLogon = NoAutoLogonAccountCreation = NoTimeZone = 40AdminPassword = ********************[LicenseFilePrintData]AutoMode = PerSeat[Display]ConfigureAtLogon = 0BitsPerPel = 8XResolution = 800YResolution = 600VRefresh = 60AutoConfirm = 1[Components] accessopt = Off cdplayer = Off chat = Off deskpaper = Off dialer = Off freecell = Off hypertrm = Off media_clips = Off media_utopia = Off minesweeper = Off mplay = Off objectpkg = Off OEAccess = Off pinball = Off rec = Off solitaire = Off TSClients = Off WMPOCM = Off[Networking]ProcessPageSections=YesInstallDefaultComponents = Yes[Identification]JoinDomain = %MACHINEDOMAIN%CreateComputerAccountInDomain = YesDoOldStyleDomainJoin = Yes[NetProtocols]MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP[params.MS_TCPIP]; transport: TC (TCP/IP Protocol)InfID=MS_TCPIPDHCP=Yes[NetClients]MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient[params.MS_MSClient]InfID=MS_MSClient[NetServices]MS_Server=params.MS_Server[params.MS_Server]; service: SRV (Server)InfID=MS_ServerBroadcastsToLanman2Clients = No[ServicesSection][RemoteInstall]Repartition = No[OSChooser]Description ="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional - October 2004"Help ="Automatically installs Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional without prompting the user for input."LaunchFile = "%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\templates\startrom.com"ImageType =FlatVersion="5.0 (0)"I removed "UseWholeDisk=Yes" and changed "Repartition=Yes" (to make it revert to the answers within the "[unattend]" heading) under the "[RemoteInstall]" heading. I also added "Autopartition" under the "[Data]" heading...to see if that was the issue.So it doesn't format. Thanks for reading. Help me out! Whoops! oempnpdrivers made the code box about four screens wide. Edited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
