mstester Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) Hi all.I'm using an unattend sif file to install XP pro on some of my lab machines, however I keep getting the error telling me that the target directory "\Windows" already exists when it comes to the partition selection.Below is my .sif file. I don't want to use any third party apps to achieve a full clean install of XP. Can anyone help me here so that my install simple wipes down the drives partitions and installs XP?I thought that using "Repartition=Yes" and "AutoPartition=1" would automatically delete all the partitions on the drive and create a new one for this install or was i completely mistaken??Thanks in advance;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\Windows Repartition=Yes WaitForReboot="No" UnattendSwitch=Yes[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=+++++++ EncryptedAdminPassword=No AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductID=******************** FullName="******" OrgName="******" ComputerName=*******[Display] BitsPerPel=24 Xresolution=600 YResolution=800 Vrefresh=85[TapiLocation] CountryCode=353 AreaCode=1[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00001809 UserLocale=00001809 InputLocale=1809:00001809[GuiRunOnce][Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No[NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1[params.Adapter1] INFID=* Edited April 1, 2008 by mstester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
