Automatic partition selection?

[Paul C]

I have used the XP deploy tool to create a Win XP unattended answer file which works fantastic but I still have to select the partition from installation at the 'blue screen', if their anyway of making this automatic?

Please post your WINNT.SIF and tell us if you want to autoformat the whole drive, contert to NTFS or something else...

set autopartition=1 in your winnt.sif

I can't find any winnt.sif, it's a batch file called unattend.bat that runs and their is a txt file call unattend.txt which has all the passwords, keys, etc in it.

Unattend.txt has 'AutoPartition=1' in it which surely means I don't meen to tell it which partition to use?

You really need to follow the guide thoroughly. the unatended.txt should be simply renamed to winnit.sif & placed in the i386 folder one level below the root of your disk. This has been documented here many times & sure a simple search would have revealed this for you good luck & welcome to MSFN.

Sorry I'm new to the unattended thing and didn't know what to search for, I tried what you suggested but still get the message saying that \windows already exsists and do I will to delete it, in which iI have to press 'L' to confirm
