Hello.

Anyone got this to work while running cd boot with winnt.sif ??

I am trying to create a 2 GB C partition, but it won't

Here is my winnt.sif...

         

What specifically is it doing? Creating a full partition? Or is it failing altogether?

I am attempting to do something similar, with mixed results.

No, that [Disk1.config] doesn't work. Atleast, not directly using our current methods.

The best/simple option is, do your partitioning yourself without having it unattended.

But if you DO want it unattended, there's 2 ways to go about it:

1.  WinPE

2.  You need to use a different set of boot-disks, and a perl-script and so on - go here for details - http://unattended.sourceforge.net

And both the 2 ways are quite lengthy, in terms of time/testing before it gets to work. Assume sort of 2 months work, to get it working (perfectly) in those methods.

2 months to get your partitioning (a 10 second job) automated? That's a HUGE waste of time if you're a home user.

I now totally agree, after several attempts using variations. Disk1.config cannot work in Winnt.sif. BartPE/WinPE must be used, which is not pratical for home/casual users.

Oh well...

Hello.

Here's the story.

I am building an unattended installation for my company.

The spec, is that is should be fully unattended.

I don't want the deployment people to supply the install with anyting.

This is the idea:

Make unattended windows install, with partitioning and tweaks.

I want an 8-10 GB C part, and the rest og the disk to D.

I havn't looked at WinPE or BartPE before. How can I accomplish this ?

Haha... that's it then - you are in for a HUGE lot of testing and frustration. Forget about leisure for the next one month.

No, that doesn't mean its difficult - its just time-consuming, that's all. The info for that is right here - please take a look in the "Windows PE" forum on this site - LINK.
