i want to make a partition and format it with NTFS without using the XP cd. i have spent too long trying to figure out how. the ultimate boot cd has 8 tools for partitioning and they all suck and dont work. can someone please tell me how i can do this

hey shapeless

Although its been a while, you might like to look at www.bootdisk.com - they have all the disk sets for windows os's - basically if i were you id probably grab the 2K or NT set... that will give you standard setup options for an OS install - which will give you the ability to format the hard drive in NTFS mode!

Hope that helps :)

id really like to be able to do what windows xp setup does, but without having to load it. anyone know what commandline exes win xp setup uses to partition and format?

edit: yeah thats what i need to do. anyone know the inner workings of windows xp partition and format routines?
