Stop asking for partition info

[orion2]

Well I was think, what if you were to change the setup and input different sizes for the separate partitions?

I haven't tried this and don't even know if would work

[DiskConfig]

Disk1="Disk1.config"

[Disk1.config]

Size1="*"

Size2="*"

PartitionType1="primary"

PartitionType2="logical"

FileSystem1="ntfs"

FileSystem2="ntfs"

Quickformat1="yes"

Quickformat2="yes"

You guys are right on with the DiskConfig. It can be used if you wanted to divide the drive into multiple partitions.

Edit: Sorry I didn't read all of the post until after I made my post but the reason for the NoWaitAfterTextMode or GuiMode is explained in this article

WaitAfterTextMode

It basicly eliminates the 15 second delay when setup has to reboot

Additionally, I didn't come up with the DiskConfig thing I'm not trying to take credit for it if you look at this thread you will find out some more information about it.

Setup ignores all entries in this section unless you run factory -winpe

this is stated right in the chm. I tried many ways to get it to work, no luck,perhaps

someone else will do better.............

Funny

Alanoll just axed the whole thing, LOL

[evilvoice]

yea, i asked him...on another note...good find bullet, i would have never known about DiskConfig in winnt.sif

Does that mean it works in winnt.sif???

BD B)

[evilvoice]

yes, it does

PS: The parser of the Winnt.sif file is the same that's used for Winbom.ini and most other answer files used in setup....theoretically, unless Microsoft disabled it in one file and not the other, most things should work across the files the problem is....microsoft has a hard time documenting it's features at times... - from Alanoll

[evilvoice]

are you using bullets exact config? or have you made changes?

[bonedaddy]

I went the chm and used one there;

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]    AutoPartition="0"

    MsDosInitiated="0"

    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[unattended]

    UnattendMode=FullUnattended

    DisableDynamicUpdates = Yes

    OemSkipEula=Yes

    OemPreinstall=yes

    TargetPath=\WINDOWS

    UnattendSwitch=yes

    FileSystem=*

    Repartition=no

    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

    NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

    Hibernation=No

    OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\001_Chipset;Drivers\002_graphic\ati58\2kxp_inf;"

    WaitForReboot=No

    CrashDumpSetting=0

   

[DiskConfig]

    Disk1 = First.Config

[First.Config]

    Size1 = 19500

    FileSystem1 = NTFS

    SetActive1 = Yes

    PartitionType1 = Primary

    Size2 = 46800

    PartitionType2 = Extended

    Size3 = 8308

    PartitionType3 = Logical

tried changing repartition and autopartition with no change......what about filesytem*,

should I remove it??

BD

[evilvoice]

you use repartition = no...set it to yes. hmmm, nm, you said you had already tried that...

test it out removing filesystem=*...also, switch back repartition and autopartition.

[bonedaddy]

I've tried repar and auto both ways, this time I'll remove filesystem*......

[bonedaddy]

no luck, I can test very quickly, winnt.sif on floppy and clean test hdd on 2nd computer

so if you have ideas let me know...........
