Hi all,

For 3 days i have been reading posts from members "after searching" for a clear cut method of automatically creating a 2 partitions (C: D:) on hard-drive 1 during the unattended setup of windows. After all my reading and some experimenting with different ideas i am no closer to a solution.

Can anyone suggest a solution? I would like it to work as part of the unattended installation. I have tried settings the

ExtendOemPartition = 3000;(size_in_MB)

so that at least drive c: would be 3gb and then i was going to have a

DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\install\batch.cmd"

to run the commands required to process drive d:, however drive C: but this solution didn't work.

Ideas, suggestions most welcome.

Good luck!

I'm trying to do it since six moths ago. windows xp/2003 setup don´t let you.

I apply this solutions:

1.- If the installation is in a single computer, in winnt.sif:

[Data]

AutomaticUpdates=1

AutoPartition=0

MsDosInitiated="0"

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

... so i do it manually.

2.- If the installation is in a local network, i boot winpe from pxe and run a diskpart scritp, reboot the machine an in the next boot install windows by sysprep or ris.

If you want to do totally unattended in a single computer, you can include winpe and windows xp in the same cd, and run winpe first with a diskpart script. You need reduce both images and create a multiboot menu... for example with isolinux.

WinPe is only for OEMs or Volume licenses, you can try BartPe is almost the same as winpe and free.

See you soon.
