Win2K unattended: three issues

[Tomcat76]

The first problem seems to have been covered some time ago:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10975

Either way, I was wondering if anyone had come up with a solution to the above problem whereby you can't format a selected partition during an unattended installation of Windows 2000. Whenever I select a drive, I expect to get the page with the various formatting options (NTFS, FAT32 & Leave alone) but it proceeds with copying files instead. I'd like to avoid having to go as far as using additional tools (I already use EFDISK).

The current "workaround" is to delete the partition first, but that causes the partition order to be messed up.

The second problem is that, whatever I do, an additional keyboard layout is being installed inspite of my "thoroughness":

[unattended]

KeyboardLayout=00000813

[RegionalSettings]

SystemLocale=00000809

UserLocale=00000809

InputLocale=0809:00000813

Inspite of this, English/English is still in the list (next to "English/Belgian Dutch").

The third problem is that Windows, during setup, defaults to "GMT-8" for the timezone even though I specified the following:

[GuiUnattended]

TimeZone=105

Is this a bug that can be ignored or will I have to change it manually every time?

Here is the full WINNT.SIF file I'm using (on a floppy):

;SetupMgrTag

MsDosInitiated="0"

[unattended]

UnattendMode=ProvideDefault

OemSkipEula=Yes

Any info is welcomed.
