Ponch Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Some users also request the program to be noob friendly, so such dangerous option is not included and will never be (it has been made clear by the developper himself).You can search the forums for easy workarounds involving modifying winnt.sif before making the iso.

johnhc Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 ss4sgoku, find the file deploy.cab in the SUPPORT folder of your CD and expand it. It contains two .chm (help) files. Look at them (Deploy.chm in particular) and you will find some option(s) for some kind of auto-format. Please let us know what you learn. Have fun, John.

g-force Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It is possible to edit the "winnt.sif" manually after nLite.Use Google with "winnt.sif", "Autopartition" and "Repartition".But take care of your data - "whole disk" means WHOLE disc.
