`Felix` Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 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.

IRP Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 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.
