Brat-2 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 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 partitionD: - ... GB - HDD-3E: - ... 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 NTFSThank you in Advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishBulldog Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreypilgrim Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 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 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat-2 Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 I would never put a system partition of just a R0 arrayNever 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.some things are best done manuallyAgreed... 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 ?
