meeuws Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Try adding :[RemoteInstall] Repartition=Yes UseWholeDisk=Yesin your .sif file. That's the way I'm using ris to wipe the hdd and installing on one partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beats Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 No, both your current partitions will be killed, then setup makes a new partition from the entire disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beats Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I wish MS was a bit more flexible regarding setting up disks, but unfortunally that's not possible. At least, not without using 3rd party tools. At work I use Altiris and Radia, and let them handle the partitioning part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
