Jito463 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Well, I don't know for certain, but the safest method I would say would be to disable auto-format and auto-partition and set those manually. Afterwards the rest of the setup will still be fully automated. I did that last time I installed XP x64 on my work machine but wanted it on the second HDD. To do so, set the following values in your winnt.sif:[Data]AutoPartition="0"[Unattended]Repartition="No" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4tt3 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 An unattended installation on CD or a RIS installation of Windows offers limited support to customize the HDD / partitions automatically unless one can just have the entire disc blown...For this functionality, you would need something like WinPE or a DOS floppy that would kick the partitioning and format procedures from outside the OS installation as a Win32 OS will lock the drives for access during installation. WinPE or the DOS floppy would then kick the installation...For WinPE which is the prefered way (according to moi..) u can use diskpart which is very powerful.Best RegardsTha Sausage Eater...
