MHz Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Use Autopartition = 1 if you want to install windows on the first partition without an windows installation already on it. Else set it at 0.If you want windows on the first drive, use repartition = Yes. Drive will be refomated and windows will install. Else set it at No.I prefer getting the prompt for partitioning myself. You may lose the ability for repairing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToBe Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 If you useAutopartition = 1Repartition = YesIt will wipe your HD clean, (all partitions (if any) will be deleted), and install windows without prompting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to be workign on my home server after i successfuly create a setup for my computer.THANKS!!!!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
