matthewk Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) How do I have quick ntfs format the default when I choose the partition to install windows on? The [current] default for me with: FileSystem = * is ntfs non-quick format. Thanks Edited June 24, 2005 by matthewk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durex Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) While Ive seen it requested numerous times (including from myself) Ive never seen anyone ever figure out a way to do a non-quick ntfs format. Ive also never seen anyone use the * with FileSystem. Ive only ever known to use "FileSystem = ConvertNTFS", which only does a quick ntfs format.Are you positive setting FileSystem = * does a full NTFS format??

matthewk Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've also seen: Filesystem=LeaveAloneI made a few things bold in the original post to hopefully clarify what I desire to do. I desire quick ntfs format to be default choice Not normal ntfs format. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jito463 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've always just used the following:[DiskConfig] Disk1=Disk1.config[Disk1.config] Size1=* PartitionType1=primary FileSystem1=ntfs Quickformat1=YesWorks everytime for me and quickformats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Right, thats what I was referring to when I previously mentioned using the following command in your winnt.sif file...FileSystem = ConvertNTFS... does a quick format.

matthewk Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Ok thanks for the replies. I will try the solution(s) posted to see if it does the quick format option for me after I have manually set the partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
