todd Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 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?

RyanVM Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 The only way I know of is to delete the partition and recreate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuhi Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
