I want to make the text mode of the install silent. I realize this would make a disk that formats without asking but it would be useful. My goal is a disk that can be inserted and fully install windows with only the press any key to boot. So far the only thing left is the text mode. Maybe just get rid of the raid question.

? Have you tried nLite/vLite?

I am talking about the text mode. where you select what partition to install on and format it.

Did you see the Unattend Guide link above this forum? Here is a link too:

ah, cool I had gone through the guide but I missed that. thank you!

how does this step automatically?

See the I want to manually control my partitioning and formatting options... here, but also there may be more information in another part of the guide.
