Repartition Help

[smartie91]

Hi

How would i use Repartition in my winnt.sif file to delete the first partition and create the partition and format quickly using ntfs

do i just use Repartition=yes

You should have the:

[Data]
AutoPartition=1
[Unattended]
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS
Repartition=Yes

You should have the:

[Data]
AutoPartition=1
[Unattended]
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS
Repartition=Yes

I use Filesystem=NTFS not sure if it matters. But I have been using that settings for about 6 months with a CD that wipes out all partitions and creates one partition the size of the disk and formats NTFS (Quick).

Also BE CAREFUL... like I said it will wipe out your drive without prompting you

If you have the second harddrive, just backup important information in the second harddrive, because it will repartite the first harddrive. I don't recommend that you do that if you have one harddrive only.

You can do..

[Data]
AutoPartition=0
[Unattended]
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS
Repartition=No

if you have one harddrive only.

i have one machine with 2 drives and i want to format the first drive

and another machine I have one drive partition into 2 drives

so what would be the best way would i have to have 2 differant unattended xp cd

or how would i not repartition the drives but only format the first drive or first partition using ntfs

Then you can do

[Data]
AutoPartition=0
[Unattended]
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS
Repartition=No

If you want to choose which one harddrive would be format.

then you can save 1 cd.
