Vann Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 The unattended process cannot do this, you'll have to use something like WinPE or BartPE to partition and format the drive, and then run the Windows Setup utility. All that can be automated completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vann Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 That's a lot of periods you have there. Anyways, yes, I've been told that Norton's gdisk is able to do it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twindude Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 OK Gdisk will allow you to carve up the disk.......but after doing some thinking and testing the smartest way I think to do this is1- use gdisk to create first logical partition and leave the rest un-partition2- load windows in the first partition3- then use the disk mgr from within windows to do the partitioning of other drives this way you don't have to resize and only create the other ones..an Unattned wants all of the physical space it sees............

Vann Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 No, you can tell the unattended install to just use the first partition it sees, and to not touch it in any way. The options are Repartition="No" and FileSystem=* I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twindude Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 I don't understand the sysprep......can i just add the disk [diskconfig] to my winnt.sif file? if so, where top/bottom?[DiskConfig]Disk1 = First.Config[First.Config]WipeDisk = YesSize1 = 8000FileSystem1 = NTFSSetActive1 = YesPartitionType3 = LogicalSize2 = 10000FileSystem2 = NTFSPartitionType3 = LogicalSize3 = 10000FileSystem3 = NTFSPartitionType3 = Logicalnot sure who to do the sysprep stuff, it looks to be the same as winnt.sif but not sure where to place 'what' file where...........?
