1. If "Repartition" is set to Yes, is there still a need to use "FileSystem = ConvertNTFS"?

2. I noticed in the ref.chm, that comes with SP2 Deployment Tools, it mentions that if "UnattendedMode = FullUnattended" that it wont install drivers unless theyre properly signed. Is this the case even if you set "DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore"? If not, what are ppl using to get around this?

Thanks....

Here you go Lois, this is my Unattended section in winnt.sif for Windows XP SP2

[Unattended]
   UnattendMode=FullUnattended
   OemSkipEula=Yes
   OemPreinstall=Yes
   TargetPath=\WINDOWS
   Repartition=No
   UnattendSwitch=yes
   WaitForReboot=No
   OemPnPDriversPath="Way too long!"
   DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
   NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
   ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files"
   CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Fichiers communs"

"FileSystem = ConvertNTFS" ;is for converting a drive to NTFS.

"Repartition"= Yes ;formats the first drive.

If you format the first drive, would you convert it to ntfs, when it should already be NTFS?

Windows will pick a signed driver before a unsigned driver. Using "DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore" allows unsigned drivers to be used during setup.

Okay.. so just to be clear...

1. According to the help file repartition does format it using ntfs... so i if I did use this option, I dont need to use the filesystem option?

2. As long as I use the driversigningpolicy = ignore, I shouldnt have any driver issues whatsoever when running unattendedmode = fullunattended?

Thanks again guys.
