iamtheky Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) You can see this behavior running the install from the HD that you are attempting to reload. Can you confirm this issue occurs when running from bootable media?And you should really look into virtualbox or virtualpc, it will save you from the whole "i lost all my data" action.

iamtheky Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) [unattended]FileSystem=*UnattendMode=DefaultHideI have UnattendMode=FullUnattended and with FileSystem=* it still stops and waits, maybe that difference alone, but I can find no supporting documentation (cant find any to the contrary either, but it could still be very wrong) Edited November 17, 2009 by iamtheky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HØLLØW Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi,this should work:[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes[Unattended] Repartition=No UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch=yes WaitForReboot=No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sathika Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi,Thanks "HOLLOW". it has worked finally with your instructions above. anyway i have add another line under "[unattended]" as follows in addition to your above lines.[unattended] Repartition=No UnattendMode=FullUnattended FileSystem=*Thanks alot for spending your time for me. also thanks for "iamtheky" for trying to help me.I'm having another question,Is there any sequence that we need to arrange lines under one category?Ex..[unattended] Repartition=No UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes Repartition=NoIs it make any difference? i think that we need to have a sequence for categories (First [Data] second [unattended] like wise) but not for the lines under one category. pls explain.Thanks,Sathika.

HØLLØW Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Hi,I think there is no sequence and it should work fine in any order. Edited November 23, 2009 by HØLLØW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
