I'm using version 1.1 Here's some more info: I created about the same situation on another machine: create 2 volumes, 1 ntfs, 1 fat32. Install OS on the ntfs. Than I ran winpe on that machine, he also created the pagefile. BUT when i opened diskpart and looked for the volumes, the Info on the Volumes was empty and I could erase the disk: PC 1 - With Problem DISKPART> list volume Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info ---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- -------- Volume 0 E BOOTCD CDFS DVD-ROM 157 MB Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 47 GB Healthy Pagefile Volume 2 D HP_Recovery FAT32 Partition 9 GB Healthy PC 2 - Without Problem DISKPART> list volume Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info ---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- -------- Volume 0 E BOOTCD CDFS DVD-ROM 157 MB Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 47 GB Healthy Volume 2 D HP_Recovery FAT32 Partition 9 GB Healthy So they both create a pagefile, but the first one on the C-drive, the second one somewhere else?

The system is: HP - Compaq nc6400 - 60GB - 512MB - ...

I'm booting from a CD. The diskpart script is like this: select disk 0 clean and than I get following error: "The selected disk is neccessary to the operation of your computer, and may not be cleaned" Some more information: The portable has a pre-installed image on it. There are 2 volumes on it, one volume NTFS (47 GB), One FAT32 (9GB) I found half a solution. If i delete the second volume (FAT32) and then reboot the machine, he's no longer creating a pagefile, then I can clean the disk. The problem with this is that i have to reboot the machine in the middle. Unless I can force the second reboot from cd (without the machine asking to press any key), it's no solution. Geert

Hello, I have following problem: I'm doing an unattended installation of a new type HP portable. I've been using the same tool for over 10 different hardware types. And now it's no longer working. This is what happens: WinPe is booting: "Starting 'Facory -WinPe'...". At boot there are always 3 things happening being: "Setting Display Resolution", "Starting Networking" & "Finishing WinPE". Now with this machine it also creates a Pagefile. This is a problem because the next step in this installation is to clean the disk with diskpart and create 2 new (empty) partitions. So my questions are: * Why is he creating this Pagefile? * How can i disable this creation? * Can i clean the disk with the pagefile anyway? The system is: HP - Compaq nc6400 - 60GB - 512MB - ...
