Partitioning questions...

[Denney]

Can anyone tell me what I need to put into my WINNT.SIF file to do the following unattended:

1. Remove all existing partitions from first hard drive.

2. Create 1 NTFS partition to install Windows on (using FULL drive space).

3. Format the 1 partition using NTFS.

At the moment, I've deduced it to:

[Data]
 AutoPartition="1"

[Unattended]
 FileSystem=NTFS
 Repartition="yes"
 TargetPath=\WINDOWS

Is this correct?

I would change FileSystem=NTFS to FileSystem=ConvertNTFS, but yes, that is correct.

I thought "ConvertNTFS" would only convert a FAT drive. Ahwell, just tested my "WINNT.SIF" file and it works great.

Even with the "Filesystem=NTFS" line. Thanks.

ConvertNTFS, I'm pretty sure, formats the drive if it's RAW and converts it if its FAT.

And what if you only want to format the C: partition in NTFS, and leave the other partitions untouched?

Becouse I can't format a partition if I'm using an unattended cd, even if it's in ProvideDefaults-mode

I only want to format the C: partition for a reinstall of windows
