Kaiwen Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I'm trying to create an Windows XP unattended install to my D: partition. I'm testing this in VirtualPC 2004.My partitions are preformatted as follows:C: 2gb FAT16 DOS partition with D: 16gb NTFS Windows XP partitionE: 64gb NTFS Data partitionIf I boot from my Windows CD, it stops and prompts me to select a partition to install. Since I want to specify the partition beforehand, I modified my AUTORUN.INF to this:OPEN=\i386\winnt.exe /s:\i386 /t:D /u:\i386\winnt.sifICON=SETUP.EXE,0However, when I boot with the above, setup reports that it can't find a partition with sufficient space, and aborts. Is this because WINNT.EXE can't handle NTFS partitions?How can I acomplish what I'm trying to do?Lee Kaiwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiwen Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Update:I was using Partion Magic 8 to set up the partitions; apparently WINNT.EXE doesn't recognize PQM's NTFS formatting -- it reports "unknown" formats for the partitions. So I let Windows setup format the partitions, then tried again. It recognizes the formats now, but still stops to prompt for a destination directory.
