Scripting Diskpart, multiple partition

[xponard]

Hello there,

I am working with WinPE 2.0 and ImageX over USB Flash Disk trying to deploy HII XP SP2 image over multiple different computers.

I want to use a script that perform disk partition/format (using diskpart.exe /s myscript.txt) before deploying the image (imagex.exe /apply ...)

I need 3 partitions in this exact order :

C: [sYSTEM] 12Go

D: [DATA] all_of_free_space

Z: [MSI] 6Go

I juste want to know how to script this need.?

How to calculate automaticaly the all_of_free_space that is = Total Capacity - (12Go+6Go)

A simple way might be to create the partitions in this order: C(12)/Z(6)/D(no parameter, so all the free space) but I really would like to get the C/D/Z order...

Thanks in advance

XP

I don't know if you can calculate freespace

You must alwsay specify the size.

ok, I have found a solution based on the Scr1ptW1zard's answer : http://www.msfn.org/board/Diskpart-question-t108302.html

Nicely done. I was going to suggest that you have the script calculate remaining space and then subtract the 6GB from it and use the result as the second or D parameter. You beat me to it! :^) Note that the formatting is the Quick mode and good for most situations. If you want to do a full format for some reason, you'd need to change the script.
