Okay. Here we go. Ready?

Everything you have here looks great, as far as I can tell.

However, PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR KEY!!!!! Oops, too late. Now, I have it and I will exploit you with it somehow!!!

Actually, I wouldn't do that. But it's frowned upon here. So, for future reference... don't. But for right now, I think you're good.

If you change Repartition to "Yes", it will wipe out your Primary Master Drive and set it as one large partition.

So in effect, you turn on your computer, hit any key to launch the CD and walk away. Come back 45 minutes later.

[Data]
   AutoPartition=0
   MsDosInitiated="0"
   UnattendedInstall="Yes"
   AutomaticUpdates=yes

[Unattended]
   UnattendMode=FullUnattended
   OemSkipEula=Yes
   OemPreinstall=Yes
   TargetPath=\WINDOWS
   Repartition=Yes

This is only good if you intend on having one partition. If you need multiple partitions, there is no way I know of to automatically tell setup to just format C Drive.

I would imagine that if you had a partitioning software that booted into a command prompt style intervace (I know Partition Magic 8 does this) that you would be able to make a .bat file that scripted it, but i would be careful, i know always like to select my partitioning just to make sure.
