Usually when i install windows manually, i create multiple partitions. I use C for windows, D for applications, etc ... I dont mind partioning the drive manually during setup, but it will only format the partition windows is being installed to. Being that i install applications to a different partition, I need windows to format that partition before automatically installing my programs (for an unattended installation of everything). Is there anyway this can be accomplished ? Sorry if this has been answered before. Thanks in advance .
