Incroyable HULK Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Please post your WINNT.SIF and tell us if you want to autoformat the whole drive, contert to NTFS or something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasXP Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 set autopartition=1 in your winnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been documented here many times & sure a simple search would have revealed this for you good luck & welcome to MSFN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
