Thanks all for your precious time. yesterday i have tried my all efforts and was able to skip setup prompt for hard-disk partition. Now the present scenario is that the setup is not asking for partition creation and its formatting to the user,BUT it is taking whole of available disk space for the primary partition and starts installing setup in that partition only. I was able to do 50%,but how to configure 3 partition is still remaining. I have made winnt.sif using nLITE and burn the image for bootable cd. Please take a look at attached winnt.sif file which i am using. My Questions? 1)Is Autopartition=0 entry in the [Data] section causing the setup to make only single partition. 2)should it be removed completely? 3)Also I dont konw if [DataConfig] section is working/answering the setup or not? waiting for some productive response from you all........... friend forever WINNT.SIF

Respected All, please tell me if i can use [DiskConfig] section of winbom.ini file into the winnt.sif file. Problem I have: I want to create 3 partitions on Hard Disk 1st partition of 8 GB, Second of 10 GB and 3rd is of rest available space. Now I want to automate the disk partition part while doing the Windows XP Setup. Effectively I am lloking at that answer file (winnt.sif) answers the setup to create all the pre-specified partition and user should not be asked for manual creation (Partitions should be formatted automatically). I want the process of winxp setup on raw hard-disk as fully unattended. As soon as the user insert the bootable cd,he/she should end-up with freshly installed winxp on PC. NOTE : I dont want these methods: 1) RIS installation 2) WINPE or BartPE whole process may be done using one bootable CD. Any clues in this regard are appreciated.... regards and thanks in advance

Hello all good ppl and super-geeks there, I am very new to unattended setup of windows,but have successfully installed win xp pro unattended.I have used nLite for this purpose. Now the next big challenge for me is to make (let say) 4 partition of the 20GB hard disk which should be included in the unattended setup process.Means, System should not ask me to create partition and format processes during setup. I have searched the net and found about RIprep Imaging method ,RIprep wizard,riprep.sif file and [RemoteInstall] section resp. which is done by windows server. I DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THAT My need is to include this automated unattended partitioning of the hard disk into my customised CD. You all are champs in this! I know. Please help me. I am vey poor and this is my first JOB. I am very honest and very hardworking. just show me some light on this i will be very grateful to this Microsoft Forum. waiting for favourable responses from ur side.... Prabhat Atri
