Hi All,

I've got 3 HDD. 2 of them works as a RAID-0 (striped disk array)

Logical drives configuration:

C: - ... Gb - RAID-0 (HDD-1 + HDD-2) - System partition

D: - ... GB - HDD-3

E: - ... GB - RAID-0 (HDD-1 + HDD-2)

I do not want to use any whole HDD's as a System Drive.

So, my question is: How I can automate Windows XP Unattended installation?

Now, at the "Hard drive partition information" screen I am pressing

<D> - Delete C drive (without that I will not be able to do "clean" Windows installation)

<ENTER> - Yes, I am aware of consequences of removing current System partition.

<L> - Yeah... I AM SURE.

<ENTER> - Create partition C and install Windows on it

<ENTER> - Format it using NTFS

Thank you in Advance...

some things are best done manually, take my word on that......

This is the only thing that i leave in my unattended CD for me to choose, it can very soon go wrong.

Myself, I would never put a system partition of just a R0 array... Drives are not that reliable as it is. No need to multiply the odds of a failure by two.

But to answer the question : I agree with BritishBulldog : manual is good some times !!

Yeah, go ahead and try to execute an AutoIT or VBS Script at that time haha

Never say never

I would. If I we are talking about 1 home workstation. It is faster and I do not care about losing anything neither on the C: nor on E:

Why MSFN exists? Right... To sleapstream everything and be "back in business" without pressing any buttons.

All important data stored on the HDD-3 + backed up.

Agreed... I had an experience of formatting the wrong drive

BUT... Are you SURE that there is no safe way of system partition choosing and formatting ?
