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
