Create partitions in .Sif file

[icarus]

Hi all, new here. I've been looking hi and low and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.

I have 60GB HDs and would like have two partitions. I am installing XP Pro from a W2K RIS server on a single HD.

How do I create two 30GB partitions?

The only way is to partition the drive (using ghost or partition magic or some such program) before you run your installation. Then configure your winnt.sif file NOT to repartition the drive.

How about using dispart and creating a formatpart.bat and createpart.txt and putting it in the [GuiRunOnce] section? Will that work if I want to partition my drive to a specific size?

Thanks

You can't do this from winnt.sif but if you can figure out how to use winbom.ini (instead/as well - I dunno)

Quote from ref.chm

The following example configures two physical hard disks, each 32 GB. The operating system is Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition or another 32-bit edition of Windows.

[DiskConfig]
Disk1 = First.Config
Disk2 = Data.Config

[First.Config]
Size1 = 30000
FileSystem1 = FAT32
SetActive1 = Yes
PartitionType1 = Primary
Size2 = *
PartitionType2 = Extended
Size3 = *
PartitionType3 = Logical

[Data.Config]
Size1 = *
FileSystem1 = NTFS
