HI

I would like to create an Autounattend.xml file for Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit Retail able to completely erase partitions of a hard-disk and to create new partitions, even if Vista sees a black hard-disk (ie a hard disk is not formatted). How do I create this file?

I have noticed that the instruction <WillWipeDisk>true</ WillWipeDisk> does not work with black hard-disk and, logically, this means that other instructions of partitioning do not work .

So, regardless of hard-disk that is already partitioned or black, I'm looking for a solution that will erase any partition and continue to partition the hard disk following the instructions written in the Autounattend.xml file.

Anyone have any idea what to do?

THANKS

BYE

I was looking to do something similar. To partition a blank drive into sevewral partitions prior to installing vista but part of the vista installation process.

I am not a programmer. But I suspect a batch file using fdisk or EFdisk could be contained within an autoattend.xml file.

It should work but is not an efficient method.
