Hello fellow MSFN members, first post I am currently trying to install Windows Xp onto a drive with windows 98 already on it, in a separate partition. The unattend.txt and other needed files were edited and are located on the 98 partition. When im ready to start the unattended install, i start the batch file and that works fine it loads the setup files. The problem im having is the fact that after the setup files are loaded the install does not prompt for a partition select therefore my only choice is to overwrite the 98 partition, but i actually need to dual boot 98 and xp so i need to be able to completely manage my partitions. below is the answer file i am using i have tried combinations of these three switches, the best i can get is a prompt to overwrite the existing windows directory.
