gdisk is available with your Ghost software from Symantec. It is no longer free.

You can use WinImage to create a floppy image www.winimage.com. Also check out www.bootdisk.com you may get lucky and find a boot disk already made that will work or a good starting point.

Okay just for clarification..

I managed to install XP unattended with the use of a 8 GB Fat32 partition, so it seems like there is no constraint of the size of the partition.

@telenut.... the WinImage ima-format actually is the same format as the vmware's flp-format.

you can check whether the c: drive is visible by checking if you can write a file to the drive, and if not, then you will create/format and inmediately reboot. (/r)

echo touch > c:\touch
if not exist c:\touch gdisk /some-format-options /r

Added the smartdrv.exe part

Step 4:

Once connected:

Run smartdrv. Just load it in the memory using: lh smartdrv.exe. If you don't do this the setup will take REALLY LONG!

i did all the instructions and still my setup is taking a very LONG LONG time !!! :( .

any suggestions ?
