Format HD with fdisk or diskpart or both?

[vondaher]

Hi everybody,

yes I know, there are some threads with this topic, but it's very hard to find the right one(s) for my problem, and maybe someone has a clever way to solve it. For my unattended win xp setup I want the following HD format options:

a) if there are 2 or more existing partitions on HD1 -> just format (or delete) the 1st one and leave the other(s) alone. installation of win xp on partition 1 of hd1

b) if there are less than 2 partitions on HD1 just repartition it into 2 parts, 1st partition 10GB, and then install win xp on partition 1.

Pls write down the most clever way to do this - winnt.sif , diskpart , fdisk ... whatever!

Grtz! vondaher.

try gdisk from symantec for this problem.
