I recently created a unattended CD which worked as planned ... except one part. I already had windows xp installed on the current hard drive and instead of prompting me to format the drive or create partitions, it simply created a second instilation of XP. Now, when I boot, I have to choose which OS to boot. I really wanted to install xp by removing the old copy and starting fresh. So, how can I control the text installation, but still automate the GUI installation? make sense? is this possible or no? i tried searching but didn't find anything or didn't look in the right place. thanks in advance! I think I found what I was looking for under the data section of winnt.sif ... if I change the autopartion value to 0 it should ask me which drive to install, format options and so on, correct?
