icarus Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobble Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<SparTacuS> Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 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.chmThe 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.ConfigDisk2 = Data.Config[First.Config]Size1 = 30000FileSystem1 = FAT32SetActive1 = YesPartitionType1 = PrimarySize2 = *PartitionType2 = ExtendedSize3 = *PartitionType3 = Logical[Data.Config]Size1 = *FileSystem1 = NTFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
