I'm trying to do a FULL NTFS partition not the quick. But with these commands in my answer file, it's still doing a QUICK NTFS partition. Is there something i'm not doing correctly?

[Data]

AutoPartition=1

MsDosInitiated="0"

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

WaitForReboot=No

[unattended]

UnattendMode=FullUnattended

OemSkipEula=Yes

OemPreinstall=Yes

TargetPath=\WINDOWS

FileSystem=NTFS

Repartition=Yes

UnattendSwitch="Yes"

Thanks,

Try this:

FileSystem=Convert NTFS

tguy

try adding this to your winnt.sif:

[DiskConfig]
    Disk1="Disk1.config"
[Disk1.config]
    Size1="*"
    PartitionType1="primary"
    FileSystem1="ntfs"
    Quickformat1="yes"

try adding this to your winnt.sif:

[DiskConfig]
    Disk1="Disk1.config"
[Disk1.config]
    Size1="*"
    PartitionType1="primary"
    FileSystem1="ntfs"
    Quickformat1="yes"

Quickformat1="yes"?

Wouldnt that mean to perform a Quick format and not a full?

WoW Lois! What is this option?

[DiskConfig]
   Disk1="Disk1.config"
[Disk1.config]
   Size1="*"
   PartitionType1="primary"
   FileSystem1="ntfs"
   Quickformat1="yes"

Can I use it to create and format 4 partitions?

Does somebody know if this [DiskConfig] code works?

I've been looking in the deploy.chm file for SP2 and I didn't find anything about it!

I've only ever seen it in a winbom.ini file, so I don't know if it works in a unattend.txt or winnt.sif file (I suspect it doesn't)...

It's mentioned under the winbom.ini section in SP1's ref.chm, but there's no winbom.ini section in SP2's ref.chm, so I don't know if it's even possible in SP2 then.

It means it will be formatted Quick, so what is the problem? you wanna stay longer until the HDD it will be fully formatted? it is NO difference except the time allocated for that !!!!!!!!

RE: Full format vs Quick format. Full format is slightly safer. Quick format may not notice bad sectors, etc

There is no key available for winnt.sif that will make Setup perform a full format rather than a quick format. If you need to do full format you'll have to do this by hand. May I suggest WinPE?

RE: Disk Config section.

-it's not supported in any answer file except WinBom.INI

-Yes it is supported in SP2 in Winbom.ini
