W2K RIS not formatting hard disk

[Feigned]

Hi guys. If this is the wrong forum, my apologies as it looks like the best candidate!

My other thread for today is solved, hopefully this one can be succesfully answered in quick fashion as well.

After loading the necessary files to begin installation, the part where the disk is automatically partitioned and formatted is borked up somehow. It tells me "Setup cannot format this partition. The disk may be damaged."

The disk is fine. It had an installation of 2kSP3 humming away on it for 6 months before I put it in this machine. The autopartition and formatting works great if I install directly from a cd.

Here is my answer file:

I removed "UseWholeDisk=Yes" and changed "Repartition=Yes" (to make it revert to the answers within the "[unattend]" heading) under the "[RemoteInstall]" heading. I also added "Autopartition" under the "[Data]" heading...to see if that was the issue.

So it doesn't format. Thanks for reading. Help me out!

Whoops! oempnpdrivers made the code box about four screens wide. Edited!

Try changing FileSystem to FileSystem=LeaveAlone

Try changing FileSystem to FileSystem=LeaveAlone

No go.

It worked great before adding those Intel drivers.
