Hi, Im trying to install w2k on a server, using WinPE distributed by RIS. Im new to this concept, and just started using WinPE to replace our DOS based unattended server install procedures. I got the distributing of WinPE trough RIS finally running, but encounter some problems when trying to install w2k. Although I allready found lots and lots of information here on the forum, I still got 2 questions: First: I use DiskPart to create partitions using the method I found multiple times here on the forum. This creates a fat32 partition for me, and gives it a driveletter, and makes it primary and active. Then when I run WINNT32.EXE, i get the following message: "No valid system partitions found". Question: Do i really need to reboot after DiskPart has finished? When i Use WINNT32.EXE with the /SysPart option, the install will run, but do i really have to use the /SysPart option to resolve this? Second: When i kick off the WINNT32.EXE, it will tell me the following: "Windows 2000 setup does not support upgrading from Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional to Microsoft Windows 2000 server". I can press OK, and setup will continue with giving me only the Clean Install option, the upgrade option is grayed out. I need the install procedure to be unattended, and i havent found a way to suppress this message. Question: Why do i get this message? The HD is emtpy, so it must be reffering to my WinPE its running. But this is the newest version, so why is it referring to Windows 2000 Professional? And more important: how do i get rid of the message so i can make it completely unattended? Thanx in advance for your reply's guys.
