if you want to do something other than make the full disk a single partition and use somehting other than the default cluster size you will have to partition and format the disk from something like Windows PE or BartPE.

Hi there, to auto create partitions you will need to boot into winpe or bartpe, then you can run a script like this one to create partitions based on the size of the drive, i run this from my work machine and insert a new HDD to create the partitions for a new user and copy setupfiles needed for xp, then i put the HDD in the new machine and its ready for them to use after setup completes.

you will need to modify it depending on your own needs, if you run this from PE then you will need to change the locations of temp scripts to %tmp%\blah or %userprofile%\blah or it wont work as you wont be able to write to the directory you run this from you will also need to add scripting support for PE all this can be found on the BartPEsite.

just incase anyone was wondering how i can create a new partition C: from my work PC, my system partition is Q:

also if anyone was wondering why i check for a drive bigger than 1GB i once left my UFD in and it wrecked it, lost everything on it...lol...

cmdDiskPart.cmd (save as autorun1.cmd and save into system32 of BartPE)
