May 14, 200422 yr The menus dont seem to be the same when first booting into a cd with winnt.sif. Normally, you press Enter on the partition you want to install Windows on, and it asks if you want to leave it alone, format in ntfs, fat32, or quick methods of those. However, with the unattended, once you select the partition it simply states that it will overwrite files in \WINDOWS. How do i use the original where i can format the partition?

May 15, 200422 yr RyanVM is right, just delete it and install windows on Unpartitioned space, it will ask you for desired file system.Don't worry about corrupting other partitions, that won't happen.
